Event Cancelled

The WordCamp Jacksonville organizers convened today and had a lengthy conversation on moving forward with our event scheduled for the last weekend in March. Our decision was extremely difficult and honestly has left us completely broken-hearted. Due to our concerns over health and safety, we have decided to cancel WordCamp Jax 2020.

Over two thirds of our speakers were traveling from outside the Georgia / Florida area which is a huge risk for all involved. We had some recent speaker cancellations and, as the event gets closer, we fear we would not be able to provide the solid event you deserve.

We would like to thank speakers, sponsors, volunteers and attendees for supporting our community.

Full ticket refunds will be processed shortly. Please stand by while our team makes this one final pivot.

It is our intention to come back with a vengeance next year. We look forward to seeing all of our friends in 2021 when the dust settles.  

Sincerely,

WordCamp Jacksonville

Having a Problem?

T-shirts for Everyone!

Who needs to pack extra clothes when WordCamp Jacksonville is back with their newest design with BELLA+CANVAS, tri-blend shirts. We are returning to the ever-popular v-neck for the women’s cut and will be offering up a selection of charcoal, red, and navy blue shirts in both men’s and women’s cuts for our attendees.

Grey, Navy, and Red Bella+Canvas triblend shirts

Just order your ticket by March 13th to receive one of these comfortable t-shirts. As past attendees can tell you, everyone looks and feels great in them!

For the men’s cut we have the Unisex Triblend Short Sleeve Tee. If you want to know the fine details of this model, you can view the exact dimensions here. Please note that some men find the chest to be a little snug (although not nearly so tight as an American Apparel Track Shirt). If you prefer a more loose-fitting shirt, you might consider ordering the next size up.

The women’s cut is the Women’s Relaxed Jersey Short Sleeve V-Neck Tee. It gives you a little more room than a lot of women’s t-shirts, but that doesn’t mean it will be baggy. You can view the exact measurements of the sizes here. If you have a larger bust size or prefer a looser-style shirt, you may consider ordering the next size up.
