WordCamp for Publishers Columbus 2019

WordCamp for Publishers is a bit different than regular camps. It focuses more on the editorial, engineering and publication side of WordPress. This year, WordCamp for Publishers in Columbus takes place on August 7th through the 9th at Vue Columbus. And our very own Patrick Henderson will be there.

So be sure to stop by and say, “hi” while grabbing some GreenGeeks swag!

Fun Facts About Columbus, OH

While attending the WordCamp, don’t forget to explore some of what Columbus has to offer. The city has been around for quite some time and has generated quite the backstory over the years.

For example:

1. The Anthony Thomas Candy Company pushes quite a bit of chocolate from its Columbus factory. Can you image what 50,000 pounds of chocolate looks like? That’s how much is produced on a daily basis!
2. The first cargo flight landed in Columbus carrying silk from Dayton in 1910. Philip Parmalee, a 24-year old who graduated the Wright flying school, flew 65 miles in about 66 minutes.
3. The first Junior High School in the United States was opened in Columbus, OH in 1909, Indianola Junior High. It is still operating today as the Graham Expeditionary School.

For some amazing, turn-of-the-century architecture, Columbus has you covered.
