WordCamp Philippines Registration to Re-open on August 16

Written by in Announcements.

Tweet

Here’s a treat for those wanting to join WordCamp Philippines 2010 but missed out on the early bird registration: We’re re-opening registration on Monday (August 16, 2010).

However, the number of slots will be extremely limited this time and the cost will go up to our regular rate of P700 or $16. The reason for this is the 72-hour payment window for many registrations was not followed, thus we have to give way to those who are serious about joining the event.

The schedule of activities will be available around the same time. Also, those who have already paid will get a head start in reserving the talks they want to attend. Watch out for that!

    Just a quick questions:
    Noong nag register ako last July 28; nagbayad pa ako ng additional P50 para sa bank service charge since I came from Manila and Chattee (the one that receiving the payment) was in Davao. Now, my two collegues was going to register this coming August 15. Will the be charge INDIVIDUALLY?

    Another question: Ano po coverage ng P700 na registration fee? I mean, will they still have free WordCamp 2010 Shirt?

    Hi Francis! Yes a free shirt is included in the P700 fee. Your two friends may deposit their payment (P700 x 2) together so that they are charged P50 only once. When they send the scan over to Chattee, they must indicate both their names so that the payment is credited to their registrations.

      Just to ask. Aside from the WordCamp Ph kit and a shirt, a certificate of participation will then be issued to all campers?

      Hi Obet, you may pay by Paypal or BDO bank deposit.

      Hi Obet! Kung wala kang paypal, pay your registration fee thru BDO. After regstration, mag email sila sayo ng instruction on how to pay thru BDO. BTW, kung taga Metro Manila ka or somewhere na malayo sa Davao, expect an additional of P50 as service charge ng BDO sa pagdedeposit mo kasi ang bank account eh BDO SM Davao.

    Guys, please take note of the date change. We are reopening the registration on August 16, NOT August 15 as previously announced. Sorry for the inconvenience.

      At the moment, there are no more slots left. But in case someone cancels their registration, we will re-open registration.

      To be notified when slots become available again, follow us on twitter (twitter.com/wordcampph) or submit your e-mail address to our mailing list on the sidebar.

    I have deposited my payment at BDO last August 17th and emailed the copies along with my profile pic to Chattee last night. Please confirm if you gt it or I can re-send the email.

    Thanks.

      Confirm ko lang din po. I also made a payment on the first day of the re-opening but until now(although I have received email confirmations that the payment has been received), I have not yet received an email finalizing confirmation and with it the verification codes and access for the WordCamp Ph 2010 Central page.

      How many days does it normally take for us to receive that final confirmation.

      @fedoran: you should received 2 automated email confirmations(1 from chattee and another from the domain) that the payment has been received.

        Hi Obet,

        I checked your record and I see that your bank payment was already confirmed. I re-sent the confirmation to you. With that, you can go ahead and register yourself at WC Central (central.wordcampphilippines.com). Just enter your email address at the site and you should receive a verification code. Thank you.

          so that’s how it works… because i tried to register from WC Central after a got a auto-response from chattee when it should have been from the one from the domain itself and there is also no instruction that we can now check out WC central from that email(domain).

          Well anyway… I got it now… thank you for the response… see you soon!

    Hi Obet,

    I’d like to ask if there are still slots available for two persons. We were not able to register for the WordCamp. Is it still possible to join? And if yes, where can we pay for the registration? Thanks much!

      Hi Praline. Registration is now closed as the event has reached its maximum number of attendees.

      However, WooThemes was kind enough to giveaway 5 of their own slots for those who missed the registration.

      Since many are interested in getting a ticket, we thought it best to make it a contest. Details are provided here:

    Hi,

    I would really love to attend but I missed out on the registration. I can stand at the back if there are no seats available and pay for the full admission. Thanks!
