Every year WordCamp RI holds a learning conference devoted to all things WordPress. The tickets include two days of sessions, one-on-one help at the Happiness Bar (aka the Help Desk), lunch and a reception. How can we keep the ticket prices so low? Because of the underwriting by our sponsors! However, these sponsors are not just great supporters of learning at WordCamp RI, they also provide year-round advice through their blogs. So here are the sponsors and their blogs. Check them out! You may find that crucial piece of information you’ve been searching for.
