One of the main aims of WordCamp Butwal 2020 was to make a connection between newcomers to the WordPress Community. We can’t deny the fact that WordCamp Butwal was awesome. So, being out of all the hype, we will talk about the honest opinion from an attendee.
How was the location?
We really admire the organizers for selecting Durbar Lawn as their Venue. I fell in love with the location which they selected. Durbar Lawn has much to offer from a pleasant environment, cooperative staff, and tasty food. Durbar Lawn was also the right choice in a sense; it is very near to the center of the city and airport. We need to mention the fact that the Venue is very near to Indian Border, this makes Indian Speaker enter and make an exit easily.
How was time management?
Attendees were impressed with how they managed such a tight schedule with sessions from over 19 speakers. The program was on schedule. Frankly, we could hear many attendees saying,” How are they managing such a tight schedule.”
