Joe Simpson, Jr. here. Part of the lead sextet for this past WordCamp US at National Harbor Maryland. I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank you for all the incredible work you did for the event with Support Inclusion in Tech. Now, I know getting to events is difficult enough. But imagine being a speaker and wanting to attend but not being sponsored. Room and board. Airline fares. And all the necessities that it will take to get you to the event and function during the event are sometimes prohibitive just because of costs.
It’s so important to make these voices heard and to make these events as inclusive as possible.
