Meet Emma Wager – Budget Team Lead

Basel, Switzerland 5 – 7 June 2025

Start with your name. Easy huh? 🙃

Emma Wager

Tell us about your team in three words.

Focused, professional, imaginative

If your team were a WordPress plugin, what would it do? 🤔

Balance your event budget!

What’s the most unexpected skill you’ve used while organising WCEU? 🏄

Perhaps this is embarrassing to admit, but I’d never used the Gutenberg block editor until I started creating WordCamp posts…

Describe your WCEU experience so far using only emojis. Add as many as you want.

🤓🫣🙌🏻📈

What’s the funniest or most memorable moment you’ve had with your team?

Sharing photos and stories of our Christmas holidays. And I always feel cheered up after every meeting, which has got to be a good thing!

If WCEU were a music festival, what would be your team’s anthem? 🪇

Hum, this is difficult. My choice of music would be disco so I’ll go with ‘Money, Money, Money’ by Abba. Not 100% sure my teammates would agree…!

What’s one thing people don’t realise about your team’s work behind the scenes? 🪁

We don’t just manage spreadsheets but also use our collective ideas to brainstorm creative ideas to help other teams save money and secure the best deals.

In the spirit of open-source collaboration, what’s the best lesson WCEU has taught you about teamwork?

How important it is to listen and not make assumptions about the other person’s point of view.

Which famous fictional character would make the best addition to your team, and why?

Miss Moneypenny! Not only is her name ideal, but she has fabulous organisational skills and isn’t afraid to take on a challenge (in the later film versions, anyway!).

Convince someone in 10 words or less why they should join WCEU next year.

It’s great to create this event for our community!
