As we get close to opening our Call for Speakers, we want to share a sneak peek into what the Organising Team is planning for the first in-person WCEU in 3 years.

WCEU 2022 has been in preparation for a long time now. In a way, it all started in Berlin, when Porto was first announced as host city at the WCEU 2019 stage. However, a certain virus had other plans for the event. 

The pandemic and need for social distancing have led the organising team to transform WCEU and host it as two successful online events in 2020 and 2021, but the dream of getting together again never faded. As the virus fight continues across the globe and countries keep releasing restrictions to travel safely, we’re confident that we all can finally meet in Porto in June.

While the world paused for a bit, WordPress never stopped. Quite the opposite.  With Gutenberg and the upcoming launch of Full Site Editing, there has never been a more exciting time to be a part of this community.  

Celebrating the present and future of WordPress

We see WCEU 2022 as a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the present and future of WordPress.

As in the previous years, WCEU has 2 days of conference: 3 and 4 June. 

On both days we will be focusing on talks and workshops that teach practical things you can apply in your daily life and work as part of our shared mission of democratizing publishing.

To make this celebration possible, we need you!

In a few days, on 27 December, we will announce the Call for Speakers and invite you to apply for long talks and workshops. (Subscribe to our Newsletter to get notified once it’s open)

We’re also exploring the options of having Lightning talks and Panel discussions, and we’ll release more information about those later.

Apart from tracks, talks, and workshops, we are working on the fun things too — WP Cafe, Wellness sessions, games and contests, and of course — Afterparty. 

WordPress is known as one of the most diverse ecosystems and we are looking forward to celebrating its present and future in Porto next June!  Would you like to join us?

With all safety measures, our beautiful spacious venue, Super Bock Arena can hold up to 4000 people, and we’re planning to cover it with all things WordPress.

Are you longing to connect with more than 3,000 WordPressers from all over Europe and the world, in-person?

Come and join us at Europe’s largest and most highly anticipated WordCamp: #WCEU 2022!

WordCamp Europe is finally back and will take place in Porto, Portugal, at the historic and recently renovated Super Bock Arena, (Pavilhão Rosa Mota).

By sponsoring, not only will you have the opportunity to highlight and present your product or service to enthusiastic WordPress users, partner companies, potential clients and interesting talent on-site, you will also have the chance to make a real difference for the open source community in general, and the WordPress community in particular.

WordCamps are all about sharing knowledge, opinions, ideas, and stories – all things WordPress – across language barriers, borders, and timezones. And this is your chance to help contribute and become an important part of this magical event.

If this is the first time you’re considering sponsoring, learn more about WordCamp Europe 2022 to help you decide which sponsorship level is going to be the right fit for your company.

We know that a lot of the future seems uncertain, and has for quite some time now. But we do know this…WordCamp Europe 2022 will happen, one way or another.

We are planning for WCEU to be an in-person WordCamp, and we’re looking forward to seeing so many friends and meeting so many new people in Porto in June 2022. Whether it’s in a session learning something new, over coffee or lunch, in the hallway track, or at the afterparty, we’re planning on a LOT of great things!

In preparation for WCEU, please be aware of the following:

• We will continue to monitor the COVID situation in Portugal and the world, and, of course, make decisions based on the safety of our community and in accordance with local mandates.
• Assuming we will host an in-person event, we will comply with all rules, regulations and laws regarding meeting in public places, including any restrictions concerning vaccination, mask-wearing, and other sanitation/security protocols.

Our commitment to you is to continue to plan and prepare to bring you an amazing (and safe) WCEU 2022. Stay tuned as we keep planning!
