The Finalists:

Making Waves with WordPress
As the Ocean State, Rhode Island is known for it’s vast coastlines and beautiful views. Much like the WordPress platform and community at large, the ocean is in a constant state of motion, forever evolving from high to low tide, with each wave of the ocean like no other. As this year’s theme, Making Waves With WordPress will highlight the continued growth and evolution of not only the WordPress platform, but also the growth of our Rhode Island community over the past 5 years.

Are you cuRIous? Best of ‘lil Rhody
From our amazing food to our historic architecture, Rhode Island’s culture is something to be proud of. Best of ‘lil Rhody is a way to highlight all the little things that Rhode Islanders love about Rhode Island and introduce them to the WordPress Community – Del’s Lemonade and Autocrat Coffee Milk, clam cakes and quahogs, the ocean and beaches, historic architecture and renowned universities – the list goes on and on! As this year’s concept, Best of will be carried throughout signage, swag and snacks for a complete immersion into Rhode Island.
