WordCamp is a series of community sponsored blogging events centered on discussions relating to the WordPress blogging platform. These events are organized, paid for, and attended by local blogging communities completely independent of official WordPress control and without affiliation with Automattic, the parent company behind WordPress.

For all the photos feel free to check them out on Facebook and Flickr.

Nate moderated a panel discussion on personal branding that included well known Central Ohio marketing and advertising types like; Artie Isaac, Jacob Stoops, Amy Parrish, Jason Yun, Andrew Brush, Rocky VanBrimmer, special guest Desarae Veit, Tyler Durbin, Shane Haggerty, and Neal Roberts. After a quick break there were break out sessions with business pros like Jon Myers, Mark Sellers, Tiffany Timmons, and Nancy Stoll. There was an added surprise by the Small Business Beanstalk’s Timothy “Wolf” Starr leaving community cards for everybody that attended the event.

The color orange and looking good naked seemed to be the theme of this year’s summit. You can see all the photos from this event here: http://goo.gl/mHP8 or Flickr

I am really supportive of this project because one of the major investors in this project, David Hunegnaw, a serial entrepreneur and successful business owner of Sandbox Columbus, is interested in putting hard working creatives first. He is a very smart guy and a inspiration for the entrepreneurial spirit.
