We’d like to start by thanking our generous sponsors whose financial support made this event possible.

We would also like to thank all the marvelous volunteers who gave their time to ensure the day of the event went smoothly.
The speakers this year were all amazing. We want to thank them all for their top notch presentations.
Since WordCamp Vancouver is run as a non-profit event under the WordPress foundation’s umbrella, we’d like to share our final budget numbers with the community. This is just another step by which the WordPress community demonstrates its openness and transparency:
If you missed a talk you really wanted to see, or just wanted to take another look at a code example or another detail, we’re pleased to let you know that all of the talks in the two main tracks were recorded and will be published on WordPress.tv within the next few weeks. We’ll send everyone an email once those videos are available.
