Pre-event Picnic

Cost: Free

Registration: https://yl.is/wceu2024picnic

Description: In 2023 in Athens and 2022 in Porto, we had picnics in a park near the venues. Both were a success and we met friends from all around the world! It was first inspired by a similar picnic in Vienna (WCEU 2016) organised by Francesca Marano and Naoko Takano.

This year, we are doing it again in Torino! Let’s meet for a picnic!

What to bring: A picnic can be only with a sandwich or fruits, or something you buy locally, no need to cook (not easy for those staying in hotels, right? )
Cost: 0, besides bringing food to share or for yourself. If you follow a specific diet, please bring your own food. You can even come with just a drink.
What to expect: Meet other WordPress international community fellows. Bring your smile and an open mind.

Introverts, families with kids, and people belonging to diverse groups are welcome. Full respect is expected, in the spirit of the WordCamp’s code of conduct.
