We do this because we don&#8217;t want to lose the &#8220;family feeling&#8221; that WordCamp Europe has always brought with it, even if this year we&#8217;ll count on a much bigger group. <strong>Selecting smaller batches will give us time\u00a0us to build\u00a0a more direct contact with each volunteer<\/strong> and allow for a smoother onboarding process. <\/p>\n<h2>Still not confirmed?
