Schedule
Expect to learn a lot during your time at Wordcamp Kent 2018. WordCamps are “un-conferences,” meaning you can feel free to leave a session or move to another if you realize the content isn’t relevant to you.
We also encourage you to participate in the “hallway track,” networking in the hallways in between your sessions. Sessions are each 45 minutes long with 15 minute breaks in between.
On Saturday, we will have three tracks: Freelancers, Marketing & SEO, and Developers.
On Sunday, we’ll have WordPress 101, Community, and Users/Business tracks.
See a full list of sessions and entire schedule here.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at WordCamp Kent!
