This isn’t a 100% comprehensive list. We’re planning a series of recap posts that will include sessions that didn’t have slides and more details for the ones listed here.
Want to see what everyone had to say during the presentations? You can view the live coverage on social media through our Storify account, organized by track.
Note: If you’re a speaker and would like to see your slides in this list, share them with us in the comments or on twitter and we’ll work to keep this updated.

So I bought a ticket but missed the whole wordcamp weekend! UGH!! So when is the next one in Chicago?
They’re usually once a year – we don’t have the date for 2017 yet, but there are several WordPress Meetup groups in the area that would be a great way to connect to local people and learn more in Chicago.
If you’re hoping to get the full WordCamp experience, you can find the list of upcoming camps here: https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/
St. Louis and Minneapolis are coming up soon, you’d meet a few of the same friendly faces there. 🙂
You can find the slides and links to the resources from my presentation on the 10 Keys to Success at http://thebbsagency.com/wordpress/wordcamp-chicago-2016-10-keys-to-success/
Thanks! It’s added to the list now!
