Dazzling experience speaking at India’s 2nd WordCamp

by Jaydip on October 20, 2011

Few days back I wrote a blog post for WordCamp happening in India at Jabalpur. It was really exiting to be Speaker at India’s 2nd WordCamp.

WordCamp JabalpurMy topic was “Content Soup for your Blog” in which I was going to talk all about Content as WordCamp Speaker. I also have great company of very learned speakers too.

To be honest to reach Jabalpur was a bit long and tiring journey. There was a flight from Mumbai to Jabalpur, so either I need to go to Mumbai for catching flight else I can go by train from Ahmedabad. Then I called R. Bhavesh, founder of Templactic and speaker of WordCamp Jabalpur. Bhavesh was travelling by train which is having 15 hours journey so I just joined Bhavesh during train journey. It was really nice company of him and we discuss a lot on WordPress, Entrepreneurship, UX & UI, E-Commerce in India and lot many other stuff.

Finally we arrived Jabalpur on 14th Midnight, We had started our journey on 14th Morning. After reaching hotel, we feel that Gaurav had done great job and booked nice rooms for us.

And the Judgement day comes. We wake up morning, got ready and drive to venue. It was nice hall with 1 GBPS WiFi connection. We started our day with Mohit’s Presentation and one by one speakers started coming, during presentations of other speakers I also got Hot company of Coffee (Don’t think else ;) )

Post lunch countdown starts, After R Bhavesh & Aniket’s presentation it was my turn to speak at WordCamp Jabalpur.

R. Bhavesh talked about how you can use WordPress core features / Technologies to gain optimum output. I must say that was really impressive for people like me who don’t want to jump much into coding. He showed real power of WordPress and how effective developers can use it.

Finally it’s time for me to go and stage and rock the WordCamp Jabalpur, infect I did the same. It was interactive session with audience, they love Content as well as Image during presentation, BTW I consider Image as part of content. During my presentation I need to stop three times due to some or other reason but still there no disappointments from audience. My spontaneous reaction over situation worked well.

The moment I finished my speech, I checked tweet and surprised to see reaction over twitter. People really liked it and started tweeting about it. Mahol & SEOCrest’s tweet was so fast. I also got compliments from my fellow speakers. I was the last speaker of the day.

Once we finish this we moved to “Dhuadhaar”, a water fall. It was wonderful and incredible. We spent 30-40 min there and then proceed for dinner.

Next morning starts with Amit Kumar Singh. He talked really inside story of WordPress. That technical might be for students but Internet Marketing Consultant like me should understand how effective work they can do with WordPress.

During the WordCamp Jabalpur, I was highly impress by Gautam, 16 year old kid. He just kid due to his age but he is expert mind who win Google Coder competition. He was really impressive kid. The knowledge he was carrying was awesome.

The most interactive session on 2nd day was by Ashish Sharma. Ashish really understand pain points of students and guide them how you can solve it using WordPress. I guess everyone likes his presentation. Once Ashish is done, Joshu keep rocking it followed by Soumya Pratihari.

Indeed it was really great experience to be part of India’s 2nd WordCamp as Speaker. I learn lot many new things, made new friends, got new followers and now feeling that let’s grow together.

Hey, that tweet was actually tweeted when my account got hacked. As I mentioned in my tweets here and here. I respect all speakers and really enjoyed everyone’s session. Please correct the statement, it was not me who tweeted that. Thanks. :)

I was using a Samsung GT-S8500 phone on which a guy sitting behind me saw the password while I typed it on the phone’s screen to log in to twitter and he also posted a few dirty tweets, which I deleted later on.

I was really unable to change the password immediately using my phone as it’s web browser didn’t allowed.

I had similar. Out of the blue, I founded that some one hacked my tweeter and some of my friends received some ”inappropriate messages from me”"
