3 June 11:00 – 13:00	⚰️ 🪦 Taphophile’s Delight: 2nd Annual WCEU Cemetery Walk Come join us for a peaceful wander through Rakowicki Cemetery — one of Kraków’s most storied resting places. Whether you’re a lifelong tombstone lover or simply someone who sees cemeteries as open-air museums, there’s something strangely special about spending time here. We’ll stroll among the headstones, pause at a few famous graves, and enjoy a rare moment of stillness in the middle of a busy conference weekend. We will meet at the entrance of the cemetery at 11:00. Around 1PM we’ll make our way to the picnic — on foot through the city or by public transport.	Cmentarz Rakowicki Rakowicka 26 31-510 Kraków Poland
3 June 13:00 – 16:00	🧺 🍉 Picnic in the park We want to create an open, relaxed moment before the conference. The picnic has now become a little tradition of its own. Every year, new people join, and past participants reconnect. It’s always a joy to see the WordPress community come together. We’ll meet in the park, near benches. There are several cafés nearby, perfect for an informal gathering. Bring some food for yourself or to share, your smile and your curiosity. Everyone is welcome: first-time WCEU attendees, seasoned contributors, friends, partners, introverts, families with kids, and people belonging to diverse groups. Full respect is expected, in the spirit of the WordCamp’s code of conduct. There is no sign-up form this year, but you can comment here to show your interest.
