Last weekend we went to WordCamp Bhopal, it was the second WordCamp of 2016 that happened in India. This was a rush event for us as we reached there early morning on the day of event and left by night, so we could to see Bhopal. Next year we will plan it little better 🙂

In most ways it was the usual WordCamp, except that it was organised by students(from Oriental and LNCT) & for students, which reminded us of WordCamp Jabalpur and we had to keep reminding students not to call us Sir. 
 
Another thing worth noticing was that venue sponsor for the event Laxmi Narayan College of Technology not only provided the venue but they also provided the students with a dedicated room for future WordPress user group meets.
 
Two of the most popular talks were by Rahul  who talked about building high quality WordPress Agency and Nirav who talked about how to become better developer, while Saurabh in his usual style become the most popular person for the day.
 
In true spirit of WordCamp’s all the speakers were seen interacting with students during breaks and I believe attendees got most out of this event during these discussions.
