WordCamp US got off to a hot, humid, and rainy start in San Diego, California. A
historic event after a week’s worth of record high temperatures and Hurricane
Kay off the coast. It was clear that rain or shine, nothing would stop WordCamp
US.
The volunteer teams shined as a light rain descended on the hotel grounds.
Attendees were greeted by smiling faces (behind masks per event guidelines)
during registration, expo setup, sessions, meals, and more. The Cloudways team
kicked off WCUS22 by setting up our new booth display while being cheered on
by the community! The conference layout was easy to navigate, with all
sessions on the left side of the venue and the expo area to the right. After a
good workout with the booth, the team joined the Speaker and Sponsor gathering
for light appetizers and networking.

continued with sessions on Growing Your Business with Nathan Ingram, Best
Design Practices with Lee Levy, and a WP-CLI workshop with Alain Schlesser.

busy meeting with happy customers and sharing our latest updates with
attendees, all while checking the forecast for our outdoor event later that
evening. It was a great time meeting all the talking Zoom faces we have worked
with over the past two years, it was wonderful to finally meet in person!
