Reach thousands of WordPress professionals and influencers by becoming a sponsor of the largest official WordPress event in the world. Each year WordPress professionals come together for 3 days to share knowledge and experience, and to strengthen the WordPress community. None of this would be possible without sponsors, and as previous years show, each year is bigger and sells out faster. This year we are expecting over 3,000 attendees, so don’t miss the opportunity to be represented at WordCamp Europe 2017. Most sponsorship spots fill up in the first 48 hours, so get your applications in, as it’s on a first come first served basis.

WordCamp Europe strives to make new connections, cross borders and strengthen one of the most diverse and vibrant WordPress communities in the world. The transparent application process for hosting WordCamp Europe is a part of that effort.
Hosting WordCamp Europe is a big responsibility. You get to join a global team of experienced organizers and bring all the knowledge and experience you have about your local community and city to that team. Local communities in the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Spain, Austria, and France have already faced that challenge and every year WordCamp Europe is bigger and better because of them.
Local European communities who are interested in hosting WordCamp Europe in 2018 are now welcome to submit their applications. Continue reading “Apply to host WordCamp Europe 2018” →
This year we’re taking a slightly different approach to speaker selection. As usual, we have a team of people who are managing speakers. This team will be reviewing all applications and we’ll be putting together the final schedule.
However, we’re enlisting some help: WordCamp Europe is an event for the WordPress community, so we’re inviting teams of community representatives to help us review the applications. Speaker selection panels will be asked to review different categories. We’ll have panels for Development, Design, Business, and Community. We also have an “Other” category for those that doesn’t fit neatly into the other categories. Continue reading “The WordCamp Europe 2017 Speaker Selection Process” →

If you have been in Vienna for the WordCamp Europe 2016 closing remarks, then you probably know that at the same time we announced Paris as the host for WordCamp Europe 2017, we immediately released 2,000 tickets.

Today, we’re not only announcing ticket sales but we wanted to share 3 reasons (of many) why we think you should definitely come to WordCamp Europe 2017 and to the beautiful city of Paris.

In 2017 Paris will welcome the global WordPress community for the fifth WordCamp Europe. Following the idea of the original WordCamp Europe team to introduce a new community and a new exciting location to its attendees each year, Paris will be the host of the largest WordPress event to this day after Leiden in 2013, Sofia in 2014, Seville in 2015 and Vienna in 2016. The new location is part of the magic of WordCamp Europe, it’s what transforms it from a technical conference into a sometimes life altering adventure full of new friendships, opportunities and the excitement of exploring a new city with great people.

As with every WordCamp, WordCamp Europe needs volunteers. Lots of volunteers to be precise. Last year we had a giant volunteer team of 160 people, and this year we will need even more of you.
Being a volunteer is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. It gives you the opportunity to meet and speak with attendees from all over the world, help out with speakers and much more. And volunteering is important because without you, the volunteers, WordCamp Europe couldn’t be as accessible as it is. As with WordPress who democratized publishing, allowing everyone to publish within minutes, WordCamps are the way we meet people and learn new things. So… Continue reading “WordCamp Europe 2017 – Call for volunteers is now open #wceu” →
Comme pour tous les WordCamps, le WordCamp Europe a besoin de volontaires. Beaucoup de volontaires en fait. L’année dernière, nous avions une équipe formidable de 160 personnes et cette année nous avons encore plus besoin de vous !
Devenir volontaire est un accomplissement et une expérience enrichissante. Cela vous donne l’opportunité de rencontrer et de parler avec des participants originaires du monde entier, d’obtenir de l’aide grâce à des conférences de qualité et bien plus encore.
Mais être bénévole est aussi important car sans vous, les volontaires, le WordCamp Europe ne serait pas aussi accessible qu’il l’est. Tout comme WordPress a démocratisé la publication, permettant à chacun de publier en quelques minutes, les WordCamps sont le chemin pour faire se rencontrer les gens et apprendre toujours plus.
