A: I would definitely look at the schedule beforehand, and maybe think of some questions you have for any speakers. Plan on using WordCamp as opportunity to meet and engage with as many people in the WordPress community as possible, especially if you’re new to it like me.
Aside from bringing an apparatus to take notes, I suggest that attendees should bring business cards, along with any cool company swag to swap with others.
