11:00 – 13:00<\/td>		\u26b0\ufe0f \ud83e\udea6 Taphophile\u2019s Delight: 2nd Annual WCEU Cemetery Walk
<\/strong>
Come join us for a peaceful wander through Rakowicki Cemetery \u2014 one of Krak\u00f3w\u2019s most storied resting places.

Whether you\u2019re a lifelong tombstone lover or simply someone who sees cemeteries as open-air museums, there\u2019s something strangely special about spending time here. We\u2019ll 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\u2019ll make our way to the picnic \u2014 on foot through the city or by public transport.<\/td>		Cmentarz Rakowicki

13:00 – 16:00<\/td>		\ud83e\uddfa \ud83c\udf49 Picnic in the park
<\/strong>
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\u2019s always a joy to see the WordPress community come together.

We\u2019ll meet in the park, near benches. There are several caf\u00e9s 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\u2019s code of conduct. There is no sign-up form this year, but you can comment here to show your interest.
