Since our journey began in 2013, WordCamp Europe has benefited from the vital support of Media Partners who help share the event’s purpose and connect with diverse audiences worldwide. Our past Media Partners, including Post Status, Torque, WPTavern, Ayuda WordPress, and many others, have helped bring WordPress to the forefront for communities everywhere, adding vibrancy to each WordCamp Europe edition.
For WordCamp Europe 2025, hosted in Basel, Switzerland, we are excited to identify a new group of Media Partners to deliver impactful and diverse coverage that connects all corners of the WordPress Community. We are seeking a mix of voices: some with a global audience, others focused on regional or local communities (including our host country, Switzerland), and those that can reach emerging or often underrepresented audiences.
If you’re a media outlet interested in a unique partnership, we invite you to apply for a Media Partner role!
