Canceled 2018 WordCamp Wilmington Due to Hurricane Florence

UPDATE 9/12/2018: We will be refunding all attendees within a week. If you don’t see a refund by next week, please reach out to support@wordcamp.org. It isn’t necessary to request a chargeback in the meantime.

Earlier this morning we made the decision to cancel WordCamp Wilmington 2018.

While we regret knowing this means we will not get to hear our amazing Speaker Line-up, nor meet with our Sponsors it is incumbent on us to declare: Canceled 2018 WordCamp Wilmington. 

We wish all of our WordCamp Wilmington enthusiasts a minimum of impact from Hurricane Florence.

On behalf of my fellow Organizers for 2018 WordCamp Wilmington, we are looking forward to seeing everyone in 2019!
