We have had some great feedback, mostly positive, but lots of great ideas for future events.

Please leave a comment below if you have some ideas you want to make sure we don’t forget for WordCamp Victoria 2010!

One thing we will do at the next event is plan “workshops” out in more detail in advance. Workshops will consist of people sitting around tables facing inward, sharing thoughts on a particular topic, and will be lead by a facilitator. Presentations are great, but adding workshops to the mix will give people more flexibility, and mix up the day a little bit.

Here’s a write up from Ben Ziegler, a participant at the event, that tells a bit of the story from WordCamp Victoria 2009.

Chris Burdge spoke about blog marketing strategy. He has posted his presentation on his personal blog at Wordcamp Victoria #YYJWordcamp.

Chris was also responsible for organizing the sponsorship by Level Ground Trading, the official Direct Fair Trade coffee sponsor of WordCamp Victoria 2009. I think everyone can agree that Level Ground has some fabulous coffee! The only complaint I heard was “we want more!”

Thanks to Chris, and, of course, Level Ground!
