Thank You, WCTC, For Hosting WordCamp Waukesha

We would like to thank the Waukesha County Technical College for providing the venue for WordCamp Waukesha. The Event Accommodations Assistant of the Richard T. Anderson Education Center, Laura Golner, and her trusty crew set the stage (literally) for a successful WordCamp event this Friday.

WCTC’s Student Web Design Club, with advisors Andy Risser and Tyler Kowalchuk, were also pivotal in making this event a reality. It was their passion for staying on top of internet and web technology and marketing trends that made WordCamp Waukesha possible. The students in the Web Design Club provided an exemplary service to the organizers (Geoff, Scott, John & Christopher) of the event through their volunteer efforts, which made the conference attendees feel welcome and allowed the event to run smoothly.

WCTC excellent event venue — In a post-conference survey sent to attendees, 65% of respondents indicated that WCTC was an “Excellent” venue, while an additional 33% indicated it was a “Very Good” venue.

We couldn’t have asked for a better outcome for this first-ever Waukesha County WordPress conference.

Geoff Myers has been involved in and excited about business, marketing, design, and technology since 2004, when he founded SimDex Consulting, Inc. at the age of 14 in his hometown of Saint Paul, Minnesota. Although SimDex originally started as an IT consulting and support company, it evolved into a web design and development agency by 2008, and eventually matured into a full-service digital marketing consulting firm by 2016, specializing in custom WordPress web application development. For more than 12 years, Geoff has been designing and coding for the web while also growing his – and his clients’ – businesses through the application of strategic marketing technologies and the development of custom-built, user-focused web applications.

Geoff originally started out building static websites with Dreamweaver in HTML and CSS, but shifted to using the Joomla! content management system (CMS) by 2008, when version 1.5 was released. In 2010, he fell in love with – and became addicted to – WordPress and its community. Since then, Geoff has designed, developed, marketed, managed, and maintained over 60 WordPress-powered websites for a wide variety of clients in terms of industry, size, type, and location. Lately, Geoff has focused on building highly personalized web applications and integrations for WordPress using PHP and MySQL, the building blocks of WordPress itself.
