WordPress blog = WordCamp:Las Vegas

If you’re blogging on a word press platform (or just need a reason to skip town), then  WordCamp: Las Vegas is the place to be. I stumbled across it this morning and was instantly intrigued by its offerings.

It’s an easy, two day event on January 10-11, 2009 at the Palace Station hotel in NV. There are several speakers confirmed, including:

• Matt Mullenweg
• Joseph Scott
• Aaron Hockley
• Lorelle VanFossen
• Jim Kukral
• Geoff Kleinman
• Liz Strauss

Admittedly, I don’t know most of the speakers, but I was absolutely thrilled when I recognized Liz Strauss’s name – I just happen to follow her on Twitter.

WordCamp:Las Vegas has a website set up with up-to-date information, as well as a blog.  Want to know the best reason you should attend?  It’s because the registration fee is $20.99!  They’re also offering a room discount, if you reserve your Palace Station hotel room before December 14.

If you’ve been to one of the many WordCamps in the past … let me know. I’m curious what it’s all about (but more importantly, what I should wear )

See you there
