When you buy your ticket to WordCamp Raleigh 2018, you are (whether you know it or not) planting yourself in the midst of a global community, more than just taking part in a local conference.
I’m so excited personally to announce this year’s Keynote speaker: Bridget Willard. In addition to being one of my favorite people in the WordPress space, she’s one of the most engaging speakers I’ve heard at a WordCamp.

She began in construction, and worked in franchise development, nonprofits, and tech. She is known for her brand building for Riggins Construction and GiveWP.
WordPress is awesome. Open Source is great. But what does that mean? It means that this free and open source software is maintained and written by a volunteer labor base. When you contribute to WordPress, that’s you.
With now 30% of the market share, WordPress is scaling fast — as a software and as a community.
In this talk, Bridget Willard will give actionable tips to help us be mindful of our entire health: physical, emotional, and financial.
The goal of the Keynote is to set the tone for the rest of the event, and I feel confident the remaining two days of the conference will be better for having started with Bridget’s talk.
We’re happy to announce that WordCamp Raleigh is officially on the calendar!
#WCRaleigh will be April 28th and 29th at the NCSU College of Engineering.
