Everything you need to know about #WCEU Contributor Day

We are less than a month away from WordCamp Europe Contributor Day. We hope you have already bought your ticket to WordCamp Europe and registered to attend Contributor Day (around 50 spots left as of today!). As promised, we are releasing the schedule of all the talks (four of them), workshops (13 of them), and all of the contributor teams.

What you need to know – step by step

For the first time this year, Contributor Day will take place before the conference days, on Thursday, June 15th, 2017. It will happen in the Business Centre of “Les Docks de Paris”, starting with registration at 08:30 am, and opening remarks at 09:15.

Registration will take place at Dock Pullman. After you register you can proceed to the Business Centre, where the Contributor Day will take place.

Those of you who have been to other contributor days already know how it goes – there are teams that you join to work on a particular part of WordPress or its community, and then there are (sometimes) workshops and talks. For WordCamp Europe Contributor day we have planned both. Thanks to our amazing speakers and contributors, we will have contributor teams as well as talks and workshops.
