WordCamp Europe 2020

Next for WCEU is Porto, Portugal!

WordCamp Europe has a new home! For its eighth edition, WCEU will take place in Porto, Portugal on 4-6 June 2020.

WCEU travels to a new European host city each year, and for 2020 we are in for a real treat. A cosmopolitan city with more than 1,000 years of history, Porto is an eclectic mix of ancient and modern. It’s a charming city with a reputation for being warm and friendly, and has been highlighted as a desirable travel destination by media around the world.

The entire event, including Contributor Day, two Main Conference Days and the After Party, will take place in the same state-of-the-art venue.

The venue

Venue: Super Bock Arena / Pavilhão Rosa Mota.
Address: Jardins do Palácio de Cristal

Located in the heart of Porto, the Arena is a modern, flexible venue with stunning views that provide a truly unique perspective of the city.

Surrounded by beautiful gardens, filled with exotic trees, shrubs, lakes, towers, paths and fountains, the venue has a picturesque backdrop and the best views of the city across the Douro river and with a panorama of Porto’s stunning landscape and history.
