We tried something new this year for speaker applications<\/a>, and we weren’t sure how it would go. The experiment was two-fold: requesting video submissions around a central theme: permanence.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more. Once we tie up a few more details we’ll have even more speakers to announce. We also<\/em> have two amazing keynote speakers to announce in the near future. No teasers yet, though I can tell you the organizing team is really excited.\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the pre-planned sessions and the keynotes, we\u2019ll have time for unconference sessions and a round or two of Ignite-style talks.<\/p>\n

Ticket information is coming in the next few days. We\u2019re also still looking for volunteers<\/a> and sponsors<\/a>. Here\u2019s to a fantastic WordCamp Portland!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
