Don’t miss out – get YOUR ticket today! Save the date for March 18, 2017! We’ve still have the official schedule to announce, and it will have full descriptions to the talks.

The WordCamp St. Louis organization team is proud to present our first round of speakers for our 2017 event. We had a lot of a awesome submissions. We carefully went over all the submissions, as a team, and then voted on them. We looked for what we wanted to hear, what our local meetup group has been wanting to learn, and tried to select a variety of topics.

Please give our speakers a warm welcome. Please note, we’ve not posted the talk descriptions yet, but we’ve given a little tease, by unveiling the title of each speaker’s topic.  This is merely round 1, so there will be another round of announcements soon.
