This year’s Joomla! World Conference is to date, the third being held in the event’s history. Set to convene in Cancun, Mexico, from November 7 to 9, the conference is anticipated to be the biggest and most fun yet. As a wonderful opportunity to connect and learn from all levels of Joomla! enthusiasts and community leadership, event goers are sure to take home valuable knowledge, create memorable moments and forge new relationships from the 3-day event.
Expect active participation from the community’s very best and get to know some of the exciting new possibilities in store for Joomla! in the coming years. With many great designers, developers and users attending, there are plenty of opportunities to grow and extend your skills.
Cancun: JWC 2014’s Grand Tropical Venue
The Cancun venue cements JWC’s goal to promote a global camaraderie since it serves as a nearer location point for the Latin American side of the community who may not always be able to attend events in the US or Europe. Cancun is not only a fun destination but the location is economically reasonable for the rest of the Joomla! community. More importantly, the venue choice provides the event with a holiday feel where everyone can enjoy a tropical location. After all, the Joomla community to many is like an extended family and what a better way and place to bond than in a tropical paradise.
One of the best perks of the event is the all-inclusive stay where you’ll get great discounts negotiated by the event organizers. In addition there are a broad range of restaurants and bar inside the premises so you can consolidate your personal or professional meetings and interactions with convenience and little effort. All discounted rates can be extended one week even after the event so attendees can take full advantage of this for extending your stay to enjoy the location even more.

The lineup of keynote speakers include prominent leaders within the open source community and some special presentations that will surely inspire. The Joomla! Ignite session from last year is set to make a comeback this year with engaging 5-minute presentations designed to kindle your enthusiasm and motivate you to take action.
Exciting workshops are also set to be included in this year’s program, and a this is the first year with a track specifically in Spanish.
