Good morning from Basel, Switzerland!
James Capell (Editor, Web Hosting) and Owain Williams (Editor, Website Builders & CRM) reporting from the opening day of WordCamp Europe. We are looking forward to seeing what this year’s event has in store.
The doors have opened! Attendees are trickling in.
The exhibition hall has a fantastic buzz to it, lots of smiling faces and engaging conversations. You immediately get a sense of how close-knit the WordPress community is as you walk around.
What I’m looking forward to today (Owain Williams):
Having attended WordCamp Europe before, I know I’m in for conundrum over the next couple of days. So many great talks to attend, so many fantastic exhibitors to quiz, and countless amazing attendees to chat to.
I know I won’t fit everything in, but here are the three sessions I am going to make special effort to attend today:
1. 3 WordPress agency f*ckups and what I learned from them with Jennifer Aguilera Schumacher
2. Live website reviews by industry experts with Taco Verdonschot
3. WordPress speed build with Jamie Marsland
Our award for most colorful stand goes to Sodew AI. It is a relatively new company and takes an interesting ‚pay what you want‘ approach to hosting and website builder services.
What am I looking forward to today (James Capell)?
So, today is day one for the public but WordCamp actually started yesterday with Contributor Day.
Contributor Day is a chance for contributors in the WordPress community to come together to collaborate, celebrate, and contribute to WordPress. There are various contributing teams that cover everything from accessibility to translation.
I’m looking forward to catching up with what happened yesterday and learning about new exciting projects for the future.
