I had the opportunity to me my first WordPress blogger the other day in Springdale, Utah, just outside Zion NP. Joan runs WP Blog Travels With Callie which documents the RV travels with Joan’s husband Michael, daughter Laura and of course their cat, Callie.
We discussed the possibility of having a Word Press Convention or retreat right here at Zion National Park or anywhere out West. I’m not sure if Word Press organizes meeting for bloggers but it would be cool if we could and invite WP speakers and other bloggers who have expertise in a particular field. I am very familiar with the accommodations here in Springdale. Any thoughts?
I’ve heard of gardeners getting together annually to tour gardens at different cities around the States and the UK has their Annual Blogger Awards, but WP wasn’t involved in either. I think their headquarters are in the UK, but not sure about that.
Blogging on WordPress is important to me most of all to create community and connections. I only follow blogs I’m going to read, and I follow blogs to enjoy the content but also to build relationships. I love your idea of connection.
Thanks for the feedback Katelon, I’ll further research the possibilities
Would love to attend a WordPress conference especially if it could be held in a beautiful location! Keep me posted!
I’ll keep you posted. I know a general manager of one of the lodges here who has two conference rooms
I think it’s a great idea to have a retreat of bloggers and/or WordPress conference here in the area.
Maybe you and I can organize the logistics if we have it here Kelly
Sounds like fun.
I’ll do some inquiries with WP first
