We have seven different presentations prepared; a Friday night \u201corientation\u201d event for the beginners; and a Sunday consultation meeting.\u00a0 We\u2019ve also shortened this year\u2019s sessions so that there is more time between programs for Camp attendees to visit, meet and network with one another.<\/p>\n<p>The WordPress 101 track will include discussion on <a href=\"https:\/\/2012.fayetteville.wordcamp.org\/session\/quick-easy-wordpress-com\/\" target=\"_blank\">wordpress.com<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/2012.fayetteville.wordcamp.org\/session\/style-with-kyle\/\" target=\"_blank\">site styling<\/a>; writing content; <a href=\"https:\/\/2012.fayetteville.wordcamp.org\/session\/talking-to-robots\/\" target=\"_blank\">writing for search engines<\/a>; site administration; and an end-of-the-day debriefing that will discuss post-conference, continuing education opportunities and session summaries.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2012.fayetteville.wordcamp.org\/speakers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers<\/a> include seasoned WordPress enthusiasts, professional WordPress trainers, website administrators, copywriters, and graphic designers.<\/p>\n<p>Camp attendees are free to attend any session in any of the tracks at any time. Your ticket does not lock you into any particular series of presentations.\u00a0 Float around. Slide from track to track. Explore. This is your learning experience.
