We are so wonderfully excited to announce that Tracy Levesque will deliver our keynote talk at WordCamp Philly.
A leader in the Philadelphia tech community, Tracy Levesque has been making websites and supporting WordPress for as long as we’ve known her. She’s been an organizer of WordCamp Philly and WordCamp US, a GDI Philly instructor, the organizer of Lesbians Who Tech, and so, so much more.
Her address will take us on a journey of Philadelphia’s loving, independent and pioneering spirit, and how you can use it to inspire you to help make a better internet.
