WordCamp Toronto 2013 @ Humber College

Humber College - LogoWe’re happy to announce that the Humber College School of Media Studies & Information Technology has partnered with us to host WordCamp Toronto 2013 on October 5th and 6th at their Lakeshore campus.

Many of Humber’s full-time and part-time programs tie into WordPress quite nicely, and the Lakeshore campus is a beautiful venue for WCTO2013 – especially in the fall!

The next few months will be busy-busy-busy as the organizing team gets things prepared. More announcements will be made as the details are finalized. In the meantime, you can subscribe to our newsletter (see the sidebar!) for updates.
