# WordCamp Portland begins drafting plans for September 27

Hard to believe, but [WordCamp Portland](http://wordcampportland.org "WordCamp Portland") is only a few months away. So now, it’s the time for planning. And getting folks ready to lead sessions.

That’s why Aaron Hockley has scheduled a [WordCamp Portland planning session this Thursday, July 17, at the Green Dragon starting at 6:00 PM](http://www.wordcampportland.org/2008/07/planning-meeting-and-call-for-discussion-leaders/ "WordCamp Planning meeting"). What’s on the agenda?

> We’re going to nail down some details on registration, scheduling, speakers, and facilities/logistics. All are welcome; volunteers are needed….
> 
> We’re actively seeking those who want to lead a discussion. If you have an idea for a session, please [contact Aaron Hockley](mailto:ahockley@gmail.com) with your idea. Any topic related to WordPress could be a potential WordCamp session.

WordCamp is a grassroots event centered around using and hacking [WordPress](http://wordpress.org "WordPress"), a popular blogging engine and content management system. In fact, you’re soaking in it. Silicon Florist runs on WordPress.

WordCamp Portland will be held on September 27th, 2008 at [CubeSpace](http://www.cubespacepdx.com/). For more information or to stay up-to-date on the latest happenings, visit [WordCamp Portland](http://wordcampportland.org "WordCamp Portland").
