Our mission is to be real craftsmen in what we do and since 2004 we’ve been mastering the craft of forging complex technologies into simple, usable web hosting solutions.

Why did you choose to sponsor WordCamp Ann Arbor?
SiteGround has been actively involved with the community speaking, supporting and attending various WordCamps around the world and by sponsoring WordCamp Ann Arbor we want to further contribute to the amazing WordPress community.

What is your favorite WordPress-related resource?
For us, nothing beats Post Status’s newsletter (https://poststatus.com/club/) if you want to be constantly in the know of all things WordPress-related.

What kind of people do you like to meet at WordCamp?
Each and everyone at WordCamp has an amazing story to share and something that you can take away, so we’re happy to meet everyone!

What do you find inspiring about the WordPress community?
The fact that wherever we go around the world – and we travel a lot for WordCamps and not only, there is always someone from the community to catch up with. Every WordCamp is like a family reunion, basically.

What would you tell someone to convince them to attend a WordCamp?
WordCamps are especially important, because by sharing knowledge and common issues, you’re actually helping move things forward for everyone, not just for yourself.

Why did you choose to sponsor WordCamp Ann Arbor?
We sponsored WCA2 for a few different reasons. First, we thought it was a great event last year and decided to sponsor again this year. Second, it’s right in our own back yard (We are based in Traverse City, MI).

We are partial to our own WordPress knowledgebase and Getting Started Series (Video tutorials). If we were to pick an external resource, I’d say simply https://wordpress.org/support/

It’s a great learning/networking experience and surprisingly affordable too.
