In fact, WordCamp conferences originated in the US, and in the early days mainly took place in Philadelphia. At a certain point the location of the conference started rotating to different cities, which added a nice fresh angle to the conference and gave participants an opportunity to experience new locales and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This last WordCamp US took place in National Harbor, Maryland, which is right outside of Washington DC on August 25 and 26, with <a href=\"https:\/\/us.wordcamp.org\/2023\/contributor-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contributor Day<\/a> happening on August 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So let\u2019s take a stroll down memory lane\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We love hosting a side event party on the evening before WordCamp starts. People have already gathered in town, don\u2019t have specific plans, and are excited to meet up! Our #WCUS party was a big success, bringing together people from our community to connect and have fun at a really cool venue. We also karaoke-d. It was a real pleasure co-hosting this with the great folks from WebPros (cPanel) and Rocket .net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Frame-10883181.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86059\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Frame-10883186.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86085\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contributor Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contributor Day represents the heart and soul of WordPress, and our team attended in full force.

It took place right before WordCamp.&nbsp; Volunteer contributors are integral to the project, but travel costs to conferences like this can be prohitibitve, so the travel grants were established to make sure that all key people can make it, and financial constraints should not be a factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elementor was very grateful to be one of four companies contributing to these grants. <a href=\"https:\/\/wptavern.com\/wordpress-community-summit-travel-fund-contributes-48k-in-assistance-for-attendees\">The fund provided<\/a> $48,000 in travel assistance, and supported 38 attendees with roundtrip transportation and hotel stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversity at events is integral to the WordPress community, and many efforts are made to ensure that speaker lineups include under-represented populations. Sometimes financial constraints mean people who should have the opportunity of speaking and being represented, are not able to do so.MasterWP established a <a href=\"https:\/\/masterwp.com\/travel-grants-for-wordcamp-us-2023\/\">travel grant program<\/a> to counteract this and strengthen diversity at WordCamp US, and we were very proud to be sponsors! Eight speakers and six organizers from underrepresented groups have received travel funding from this program. It\u2019s great to support these types of initiatives!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full clean\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"59\" src=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/community-summit.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86069\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contest to win a Macbook Air!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With our special offer of three months free of <a href=\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/wordpress-hosting\/\">Elementor Hosting<\/a>, attendees who wanted to participate in our contest could sign up, quickly build an Elementor site, and share it on X.
