WordCamp Philippines 2010 Registration Now Open
Written by Brendel in Announcements.
We have just opened the registration for WordCamp Philippines 2010.
This year, the registration fee is Php700. This entitles you to a ticket to the event, a WordCamp Philippines 2010 kit, lunch and coffee, and a campers’ shirt.
But as a bonus, we are giving a discount for those who will register and pay on or before August 15, 2010. We are slashing a couple of hundred pesos off the registration fee so for Php500 (or US$12 for payments via PayPal), you’ll be able to participate in the coolest gathering of tech-savvy professionals in the country.
Remember, WordCamp Philippines 2010 is happening on October 2, 2010. Register HERE to secure a spot to the best WordCamp Philippines yet.
first! There’s no doubt that I will be attending this one.. =p
Hi, Melvin. I hope to see your name on the list of confirmed attendees soon. Be sure to register before August 15 to qualify for the early registration discount.:-)
San to? Interesting na pupunta si Matt, haha
Hi, the event will be at the College of Saint Benilde, Taft Ave., Manila.
Aside from meeting Matt, you’ll also learn a lot from the event.
i have a question though (kinda offtopic). I was actually tracking kasi wordcamp.ph since february pa for updates with regards to this topic nga and nung mga June, July na, and wala pa akong nakikitang updates, I was kind of like “sigure walang wordcamp 2010″. but then yun nga iba na pala ung site without prior notice man lang dun sa old site.
Anyways why did you decide to have a different domain? Is it a different organizing team or what? just curious
The person who has control of the old domain is no longer part of the organizing team and we, the organizers, no longer have access to the old site.
The organizers this year are the same people behind WordCamp Philippines 2008 – 2009.
As usual wala na naman ako sa Pinas during the event
Maybe next year?
hope to join this event
Looking forward to seeing you at WordCamp!
We are a team of 4 and we are all planning to attend this event. Wala ba group registration para isang payment na lang? Thanks,
Hi. What you can do is register individually and pay using the same paypal account or if paying through bank, pay for all four. Just note that in your e-mail when you send the scanned deposit slip.
We didn’t allow group registrations because we needed each of your details for the badge and kits.
Isn’t 500 or 700 too much for this kind of event.. I mean I get a kit, lunch and coffee and a camper shirt for that but I noticed on the Sponsors area there is a ‘Lunch Sponsor’, ‘Snacks Sponsor’ and a ‘Shirt Sponsor’ sponsorships… just a thought…
Hi Paul! You have a valid point. However, please note that the sponsors page lists sponsorship opportunities and not actual sponsorships.
WordCamps around the world have registration fees including those that are sponsored. The rationale for charging fees is to ensure that participants have personal investments in the event and ensure their attendance.
In 2008, WordCamp was free which resulted to 300 registrations. The organizers spent for 300 kits and provided meals for the same number. Only 180 showed up. Participants were also required to blog about the sponsors and post links on their blogs. Matt Mullenweg made it expressly known to the organizers that such practice is frowned upon.
With regard to the amount, Php500/700 was decided upon based on the feedback provided by those who responded in the WordCamp Philippines survey.
WordCamp Philippines is one of the most affordable, if not the cheapest. Most WordCamp tickets cost around $40-75.
I hope I have addressed your concerns. Looking forward to your registration. See you at WordCamp!
hmmmmm this will be fun
Definitely fun!
hi, i sign up to be one of the speakers sa wordcamp,

We don’t have bulk registration discounts but we have early registration discounts.
Regarding your interest in speaking at WordCamp, we are still working on the final list of topics and speakers.
@Lyle: Kailan nyo po i release yung list of topics for this year WordCamp??? More or less, kailan or anong month kaya? Thanks.

hello. LokalSoul.com is just a new blog about the philippine surfing scene. can we join the wordcamp even though we are not about tech stuff?
Yes, of course. The event is open to all users of WordPress and those who are interested in migrating their sites/blogs to WordPress.
Im hoping to network a lot this year. Last year I was kind of like shy pa eh, so i just literally talked to no one. But then now is different.
if you know me and you see me, say hi..
That’s the attitude. See you at WordCamp!
This is very exciting, really. And it’s gonna be my first time on Wordcamp!
I hope to see you guy’s there!
See you at WordCamp, Rafael. The WCPH team is working hard to make your first WordCamp a worthwhile and informative experience.
Hope I could attend this event! Last 2008 and 2009 I didn’t make it so I hope this time no more excuses
See you at WordCamp, Dess! I visited your blog and I must say that oatmeal and banana meal of yours is very interesting.
I registered. Thanks to melvin for informing me. Wew. See you all! This is my First Wordcamp! hope I will learn so many things here.
=D
See you at WordCamp, Eymard!
Hi! I’ve registered last July 24 but I haven’t paid yet. I didn’t notice the ‘pay within within 72 hours’ part. It’s July 28 already and obviously I missed the mark. I do have the intention to attend (I got 2 people coming with me) though. Should I register again or what? (I don’t want to spam you guys with registration email, that’s why I am asking)
Thanks!
Hi Marc, our records show that you are registered. Please do pay before the early bird deadline (Aug 15) if you want to avail of the discount. Thanks!
Alright! Thanks Drew.
daya naman nun, 62 slots availabale nalang daw..
panu pag-di ako naka-abot! uhuhuhuh
i wish maka-abot pako.
Hi, Badet. I really hope you’ll register soonest. Looking forward to seeing you at WordCamp!
ilang participants lang ba?
I think wala naman silang definite number of participants for the WordCamp. What they are tracking down is the number of early bird registrants who will be qualify for the P200 discount on their registration fee. Am I right, Miss Brendel????
ei bakit meh nakita akong nakalagay na 60 slots available?
nakakalungkot naman yun..
sana nga totoo yang sinabi mo
Our event venue can only accommodate 200 people so we will be limiting the number of slots to 200 participants only.
Out of the 200 slots, more than 140 have registered already. The registration page displays the actual remaining slots left.
sana may slots pah till next week. sobrang masasad ako pag-di ako nakapunta
This is the first time that I will going to attend a word camp.^^ Can’t wait.! So exciting.!^^
Hmm Looks fun! Not sure if I’m available that day though… D: Sana I’ll be able to attend xD… What is usually the age group of the people attending this?
i thought i’d answer this. i think its in the range of 25-40 years old..
correct me if im wrong.
Wow then I feel so waaaaaay below that range ) But I am very interested in WordPress xD I create WordPress themes… Recently I made one for my school ) at http://xavierstallion.tk/
dont worry you’re not alone. i myself is just 20 so even if you’re just 10, theres no restrictions.. =p
Oh I can’t for this this event. i just hope my leave at the office is approved on this day.

How I wish I can attend this event… I’ve been planning to attend since 2008 but the day of the event is not favorable (to me).

Hi Roy, I hope the new theme suits your eyes well. See you in October!
Too bad, registration is full
bummed registration is closed.
Oh I didn’t make it to register… Too bad!
I would really love to attend on this camp event, but Hirap talaga pag dito ka sa Mindanao, limited lang yong opportunities
Anyways, I’m still a teen, so I have a long road ahead of me =)
Hi Raven,
The entire organizing team of this event is also from Mindanao, Davao specifically. Mini WordCamps in 2008 and 2009 were also held in Davao.
This year, however, we could only afford to hold one in Manila due to budget constraints.
However, there are a lot of blogging events in Mindanao organized and sponsored by the Davao, CDO, and SoCCSKSarGen Bloggers. Our group, Avatar Media, also organizes events regularly in Davao.
