Site Launch: WordCamp Ireland
19 Nov 2009 | Filed Under: Events + Portfolio
Katherine Nolan and I are delighted to announce that WordCamp Ireland, Ireland’s first conference for WordPress, is officially launched. We’ve spent a mad few days talking to venues, sponsors and speakers and all systems are go: we’ll be taking over Langton’s Hotel in Kilkenny on March 6th and 7th, 2010 along with 35 speakers, 200 attendees and a metric tonne of swag.
It is going to be a great conference with both excellent speakers and loads of social activities so you don’t sort of get stranded in a corner (we hate that) and is specifically family-friendly so you can bring the whole gang. The venue is also handicap accessible and utterly amazing – we are so excited it’s all come together like this.
This site was a snap to do because Katherine and I work pretty much flawlessly together. I did the pretty, she did the clever, and we’re in total agreement about everything to do with conference organising. It’s like marriage, only perfect :)

I guess that the site “was a snap to do” because it’s a $27 theme from themeforest :)

Indeed, it is a $27 theme from Theme Forest, which is acknowledged on the Thanks & Credits page on the WordCamp site itself, and has been since we launched it. Nobody was hiding that fact – and actually, we went to some length to acknowledge it even though doing so is not required by the license. I don’t see the issue here; well-coded themes are an excellent resource if you’re looking to cut your dev time, as we were with WordCamp.
