It’s a wrap up. So, one more final post regarding WordCamp Utrecht 2017.
We had a great time in organizing this event. It all started end April 2017, right after the moment when we heard that there wouldn’t be a WordCamp Netherlands this year. A brand new team was formed for organizing WordCamp Utrecht. We had our ups and downs, some things didn’t go smoothly nor as planned, but in the end it turned out to be a giant roller coaster ride, with last weekend as the reward.
We sold 250 tickets and had 227 people attend day 1. There have been 41 people watching the livestream. Day 2 was attended by 70 people, the livestream was viewed by 96 people. A little less than 50 people attended Contributor Afternoon. The Support team managed to answer all questions in the support groups. WP-CLI and core have been able to board and set up their development boxes, Community brought in 2 new meetups: Den Haag and Arnhem. Zwolle was made into an official WordPress meetup. Other groups reported boarding of groups as well and doing some contributions, such as Polyglots and Accessibility.
We’re still collecting the results of the attendee satisfaction survey. 40% of the attendees answered our little survey. 87% of these respondents was happy with the event! That’s great! We’ve also received useful comments on what to do again next year and what you don’t want us to do again next year. Sharing your opinion with us is very valuable to us, we will use it for the next preparations.
Thank you for attending, sponsoring and speaking! Thanks for supporting us! Thank you for making this into a great event!
