Special Guest John A. Russo

Posted on by

WordCamp St. Louis is always trying to make the Camp as exciting and interesting as possible for everyone involved and this year we’ve gone above and beyond.  We’re super excited to announce that we have a very special guest joining one of our sessions. Director and screenwriter John A. Russo will join our own Danielle Tillis during her session for a live interview.

Mr. Russo is most widely known for the 1968 horror classic film Night of the Living Dead. He has performed multiple roles as an actor, most notably the first ghoul who is stabbed in the head in Night of the Living Dead, as well as cameos in There’s Always Vanilla and House of Frankenstein 1997.  You can see his full list of accomplishments on his IMDB page.

He is definitely not a typical WordCamp guest, and we’re honored for John to join us in our adventures. We hope you can join us in what is probably the first celebrity interview live from a WordCamp. Mr. Russo will also have memorabilia available for purchase and be available to sign autographs before and after his interview.

WordPress is for all ages – get excited for Kids Camp!

This year the second day of WordCamp is our community day. One of the sessions we’re proud to bring is our Kids Camp. WordCamp attendees are encouraged to bring the young people in their lives to learn about WordPress and publishing on the web. We’ll spend the morning covering the basics of WordPress, free and open source software, copyright, and what it means to be public on the web.

We’ll end the morning with lunch  and our community day keynote!

It will be a relaxed affair. Come as you are, but be sure to bring a laptop! For more information check out the Kids Camp session on the schedule and get your tickets today! (Note, only one adult ticket is needed if you’re bringing multiple kids. Sweet!)

Tickets are now Available for WordCamp St. Louis 2016!

The goals of any WordCamp – but you know, ours especially – is to bring together great people and foster a community where everyone is free to learn and share. Any WordPresser – blogger, designer, developer, small business owner, writer – is welcome. We know you’ll have a great time.
