WordCamp Philippines

The WordCamp Philippines team regrets to inform the Filipino WordPress community that we will not be holding a WordCamp Philippines event this year. We had hoped against hope to go through with it, but due to scheduling and time constraints, we decided that it just wasn’t possible. Our apologies go out to all those who were looking forward to it and to those whose questions as to whether the event was going to happen or not went unanswered.

Now for the good news: Plans for a WordCamp Philippines 2012 are already underway! A date and location are not yet finalized but it will definitely take place in Manila late next year. Watch this site for future announcements. Thank you.
