We love WordCamp US. It brings together WordPress users from around North America and beyond. It’s a chance to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces and immerse ourselves in the WordPress community.
These offline, in-person experiences are crucial for keeping WordPress community members connected to each other.
For WordPress newbies, these events are a chance to learn from experienced users. For web designers & developers, these events are a chance to share their knowledge and potentially find new clients or business partners.

Makers of the web, unite at WordCamp US 2019
Are you building websites for others? You don’t need to be a coder, and you don’t need to do it full-time. If you’re helping clients get online, you’re a Maker of the web.
Makers of the web are everywhere. They’re in big cities and small towns and on the road as digital nomads. They’re working from home, coworking spaces and coffee shops. They’re connecting with each other online through Slack and Facebook groups, and offline through meetups and events like WordCamp US.
If you’re a Maker of the web, we want you to join us at WordCamp US 2019 in St. Louis.
We share a common purpose
If you’ve seen our ads, you know that we’re huge advocates for people who make their own way. This is a global community of everyday entrepreneurs who are on a journey to transform their big ideas into something real.
We’re here to help those entrepreneurs along their journey. But we also know that we’re not alone. If you’re a Maker of the web, we share a common purpose: helping people grow & succeed online.
Let’s help more people succeed with WordPress
As the world’s largest WordPress hosting provider, we’re introducing new people to WordPress every single day.
That’s why we invest in creating a stellar WordPress experience with an easy setup wizard; 100s of professional GPL-compliant WordPress themes; and award-winning 24/7 support.
It’s why we sponsor full-time WordPress core contributors; why we release our themes and plugins under the GPL; and why we support local WordCamps and WordPress meetups around the world.
And it’s why we created GoDaddy Pro, our free partner program for the Makers of the web.
By working together, we can help more people succeed with WordPress.
Teaming up with local web designers & developers
If you’re a Maker of the web, GoDaddy Pro gives you the tools and support you need to start and grow your business. That includes GoDaddy Pro Sites, a single dashboard for managing all your WordPress sites and clients from one place.
It also includes more perks and benefits, like discounts on GoDaddy products, secure access to manage your client’s GoDaddy account, and our recent partnership with WP FeedBack.
Check it all out for yourself by joining GoDaddy Pro.
What’s GoDaddy Pro doing at WordCamp US 2019?
We’ve attended every #WCUS since it kicked off in Philadelphia four years ago.
In 2016 we started covering the event on Twitter and recapping our experiences in follow-up blog posts:
- What you missed at WordCamp US 2016

Our team will be on the ground in St. Louis again this year, sharing highlights and takeaways from sessions.
But that’s not all we’re doing.
Take a selfie, win an iPhone 11 Pro
Photography played a huge role in our recent refresh and we want to share some of that magic with everyone at WordCamp US.
That’s why we’re turning the GoDaddy Pro booth into a photo booth.
We’ll have photographers hanging about, ready to take your picture.
It could be your new Twitter profile pic; a glamour shot for Insta; or a dramatic Facebook cover photo. The choice is yours…!
We’re also holding a draw for a new iPhone 11 Pro.
You can take fantastic photos whenever, wherever you want.
