Are you already warming up for WordCamp Europe? Before the main event gets underway, there\u2019s one day that truly captures the collaborative spirit of WordPress: Contributor Day<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking place on Thursday, 5 June 2025<\/strong>, Contributor Day is more than just a warm-up to the main conference.

Contributor Day is where they come together to build, improve, and collaborate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
