WordPress is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) that powers over 43% of the web—from personal blogs to e-commerce or major business sites. It was created in 2003 by Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little as a simple blogging platform, and has since evolved into a flexible tool for building nearly any type of website.
What makes WordPress unique is its global, community-driven ecosystem. Make WordPress is where volunteers contribute to software development, support forums, translations, and education. This collaborative spirit extends to local and online meetups, where users of all skill levels share knowledge and help one another grow.
What is WordCamp Santa Clarita?
Over 1,300 WordCamps and WordPress Events have been held in 71 countries since 2006. They are organized exclusively by unpaid volunteers who contribute their time and effort to put on these local events at low cost in the communities where they take place. These events would not be possible without the generous support of sponsors.
For first-time attendees, events like WordCamp offer a welcoming introduction to the WordPress community here in Santa Clarita. These conferences feature beginner-friendly sessions, expert talks, and networking opportunities. Whether you’re building your first site or growing a business, WordCamps provide a supportive space to learn, connect, and get inspired.
How do WordCamps compare to other tech conferences?
Compare a WordPress event to other major tech conferences that regularly range from $1,000 to upwards of $3,000 (USD) to attend, WordCamp Santa Clarita only costs $50. This price includes two days of inspiring speakers, learning and networking opportunities, yummy meals, and tasty snacks.
