Wordcamps come in different forms depending on the local community and its users that produce them. It includes sessions on how to use WordPress more effectively, beginning with plug-in and theme development, advanced techniques, security, etc.
Wordcamps are mostly attended by people like newbie bloggers, WordPress experts, Professional WordPress developers, etc. however, each Wordcamp is different than the other, depending on its speakers, organizers and attendees.
WordPress helps in showcasing local talent, as each individual event is organized by local wordpress users, developers and fans. The primary reason for the event is that, the members get to geek out for a day or two with other people just as obsessed as you about wordpress.
