The theme of this year\u2019s WordCamp is #creativity<\/strong>. Why? WordPress plays a big role in the creative industry \u2013 used by artists such as photographers, graphic designers, bloggers or writers. What\u2019s more \u2013 being a WordPress developer requires creativity, open-mind and an adventurous soul. \u201cMaking the Internet\u201d is not just about writing code \u2013 programmers and developers are creative by nature and not afraid of the challenges posed by the world of new technologies.
