Ryan Hoover, a Software Developer at WP Engine was in charge WordCamp ATX this year, “I’ve helped out at WordCamps in Austin and San Antonio before, but this was my first time organizing one. It’s definitely been a labor of love. I was warned when I took on the role that it would be hundreds of hours of investment. That’s definitely true. But it’s so rewarding hearing from people who went to their first WordCamp and can’t wait to learn more about WordPress.”
