WCLB 2019 Blueprints

Welcome to Our Organizing Team Public Archive

Ahoy! Welcome to the WCLB 2019 Blueprints. You’re invited to explore our public archive of over 20 actual and sample WordPress conference organizing documents. All our files have been stripped of private and confidential information.

We carved out this public archive for our friends organizing WordCamp San Diego 2020 and then expanded it for the public in general. We’ve included a few cool resources from other WordCamp organizing teams – Boston, Nashville, and London.

We hope you find these blueprints useful as you brainstorm, plan, and execute your next WordCamp.
