I’m stepping down as lead organizer for WordCamp The Netherlands. Not an easy decision, but one I had to make. For myself.

This was my third WordCamp Europe. The first one as an attendee, and not a co-organizer. Let me tell you about my experiences.

I am in a train. The Thalys from Rotterdam to Paris Gare du Nord to be precise. My wife is next to me and we are on our way to Paris for WordCamp Europe 2017.

WordCamp Nederland 2016 has grown a whopping 68% since last years edition. How did the organizing team, lead by Marcel Bootsman, realize this?

WordCamp Europe 2015 is over. Writing this post has been on my to do list from the moment I knew I was able to join the organizing team for 2015, so let’s get started and let me tell you more about my experiences.

Dear WordCamp Europe organisation, After registering as a volunteer for WordCamp Europe, I received a call from Remkus yesterday. I was asked if I was interested in being the Manager for the volunteers. I feel honored to be asked for this role, but I had to consult this with my wife first.
