The Big Day is coming up fast – as I write this, we’re less than 48 hours away from the start of WordCampEd Vancouver – and things are shaping up quite nicely. We’ve got some topic ideas listed here on the site (thanks to everyone who pitched ideas) – and we’ll be working hard to draw out more topic ideas during the event as well.
The basic plan for the day is to start with some caffeine to get people awake enough to participate, and then kicking off the event with a series of short, mini not-presentations to frame some of the key ideas. We’ve got some great people who have agreed to help get things started – and if you’d like to make a pitch or mini not-presentation, please do so. Hopefully, these will form the basis of the group activities for the remainder of the event – with the participants dividing into groups or camps to produce solutions to whatever problems are identified. Eventually, we’ll break for lunch, then reconvene to hammer some more on the projects. At the end of the day, the camps can present their outcomes, and we can all celebrate and relax.
The whole point of the day is to keep the schedule as flexible as possible, and to allow (and encourage) cross-pollination between the camps/themes/ideas. It’s your WordCampEd event, after all, not a rigid series of conference presentations.

When is the next Wordcamp planned ?
I don’t believe there is one on a calendar at the moment.
Is this gonna happen again in May? If so, I’d like to make my flight plans work accordingly.
