June 15-17, Paris, France | #WCEU
We are doing things a little different this year, as we are announcing an official call for photographers.
In the previous years we recruited photographers from the volunteers pool. This year we decided to up the game and make a separate application available for photographers who want to document what will be the largest WordPress conference to date. Continue reading “Call for Photographers” →
It may have slipped by unnoticed, but last week we started selling the very final batch of tickets.
At the end of the last WordCamp Europe in Vienna, when we announced Paris as the next host city, we released the first batch of 2000 tickets. That first batch sold out at the end of January 2017 and we decided to release the second batch immediately after, along with 300 microsponsor tickets.
With over 2200 tickets already sold or reserved (for our sponsors, speakers, and volunteers), WordCamp Europe 2017 will be the biggest WordCamp to date.
Keep in mind that there won’t be any more tickets after this release, except reserved tickets that won’t get collected. Continue reading “Final batch of tickets now on sale” →
Call for media partners is now closed.
In 2017 Paris will welcome the global WordPress community for the fifth WordCamp Europe. It will be the largest WordPress event to this day after Leiden in 2013, Sofia in 2014, Seville in 2015 and Vienna in 2016.
Would you like to share stories and offer to your audience insights of this three days WordCamp, where more than 3000 WordPress professionals and enthusiasts gather to learn, co-work, network and make friends? We would love to hear from you! Continue reading “Be the media partner of the biggest WordCamp in Europe” →
The countdown begins! There’s less than ten days left for you to submit a speaker application to WordCamp Europe 2017. We’re set to close the call for speakers next Friday, the 27th January 2017. Continue reading “Call for speakers closes next week” →
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” →
