WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. Each one of these events are smaller in nature when compared to your particular conference, but they are usually focused on a particular subject.

So what can you expect when you attend a WordCamp event?  Based on the numerous amounts of videos and photos taken from attendees, you can expect a whole lot of fun in an atmosphere that promotes social interaction.

The first WordCamp conference was held in July of 2006 in San Francisco.  Matt Mullenweg pulled this event together in only three weeks time and ended up with about 300 people in the Swedish American Hall.  The first international WordCamp event was held in Beijing China on September 1st, 2007.
