The State of the Word is given each year at WordCamp San Francisco. It’s basically an address to the entire WordPress community from Matt Mullenweg, sharing some favorite moments from WordPress’s past and some looks into its future, and this year’s State of the Word did not disappoint.

WordCamp San Francisco is often heralded as the largest WordCamp and sometimes considered to be more of an annual WordPress convention, and there are certainly a ton of people attending this year. If you’re one of the many joining in, an impressive list of speakers, and a program for all three days have been posted.
There will be plenty to do this year, and if you’re a plugin developer, you may want to take advantage of the Plugin Security Showdown while you still can.
Tickets are mostly sold out, but there do seem to be a few microsponsorship tickets available, and walk-in ticket purchases will be welcome until occupancy is reached.
If you can’t make it out to San Francisco this year, there are plenty of WordCamps happening soon elsewhere, including Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.
