We hope you enjoyed WordCamp Toronto 2018 themed\u00a0“Gutenberg and the WordPress of Tomorrow”<\/strong>. The WordPress Toronto organizers have been busily planning next year’s event already. We are hoping to have a fall event in 2019, so we have started planning already! At this point you probably have had a chance to think about your experience, and we want your feedback<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Please complete this survey<\/a>\u00a0which will help us decide on how to improve next year’s event!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And as a special treat – videos from all of the talks are up on WordPress.tv too<\/a>! And the slides from most of our sessions<\/a> are up on the WordCamp website.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all the volunteers and organizers for such a great event. And a special thank you to the sponsors<\/a>, without which the 2018 event truly would not have been possible.<\/p>\n

If you have kudos (or issues) please leave them in the comments below or just leave them on the survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ps. We have issued all ticket refunds so you should receive your refunds within the next few days. Sorry about the delay!<\/p>\n\n\n

Kudos for WordCamp 2018<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dear Alex and Kristine (and the rest of the WordCamp Toronto organizers),
 
I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for all your hard work planning WordCamp Toronto. It was heartwarming to finally see a lot of people at a local WordPress event. Up until Saturday, I wondered who was in the Toronto community.
 
The quality of the speakers was excellent, and the sessions were timed nicely. The after party was close by and you had great food. Overall the team did an excellent job. Thank you!
