Introducing the workshop for children at WordCamp London 2018

This year, for the first time, WordCamp London is hosting a Kids Workshop. We’re inviting children from Whitchurch Primary School to join us, on Friday 13th April, to learn how to set up and manage personal site—from publishing content to changing the way a site looks like.

The Kids Workshop has previously been held at WordCamp Belgrade, Varna and Sofia with much success, and we’re excited to be able to host this event at WordCamp London too!

A massive thank you to our Stadium sponsors

WordCamp London is an event dedicated to connecting people in the WordPress community. A key component of our mission is to make the access barrier as low as possible, from several standpoints—ticket price and inclusivity in the first place.

Sponsors play a crucial role in the whole event: thanks to their support, we are in the position to create a low-cost and high-value event, truly open and accessible to everyone.

This is why it’s so important for us to celebrate all the companies that are so invested in the growth of the WordPress community.

Everyone, please join us in thanking our Stadium sponsors for their commitment to the WordPress community, and drop by to say hello on the day 🙂

WordCamp London Saturday Social – Games Night!

One of the great things about WordPress and WordCamps is the community behind it—it’s such a diverse group of people with so many different interests that it can sometimes be hard to design a social that matches up with everyone’s interests. So we decided the best thing to do was to let the community have a hand in creating our games night.

WordCamp London 2018: the design

At WordCamp London we’ve always been proud of our graphic efforts. Since the very first edition in 2013, we’ve selected a theme that reflects London’s rich cultural heritage, from theatre to the punk scene.

This year we’re celebrating London’s music ecosystem, and our excellent designers (Elliott, Paul and David) have produced some outstanding visuals.

Here they are in all their glory!

Off-site socials & community organised events at WCLDN

As WordCamps are events made by the community for the community, making people connect and create relationships based around WordPress is one of our top priorities.

WordCamp London will have two full days of conference, a contributor day, an activities room with its own mini-schedule and an official social event, but that doesn’t have to be the end of it! And in fact, we know that some of you attendees are arranging informal gatherings around the event.

The Activities Room

At WordCamp London, we’re lucky to be in the position of building on a series of successful past editions and we’re always thinking of ways to keep up the high standards and add new things to the mix.

Last year, our ‘Activities Room’ quietly tucked away from the main tracks served as a place for people to break out, play some board games, or do some work.

What to expect in the Activities Room this year

This year, the Activities Room will have three events happening at selected times and dates: Happiness Bar, PHP Upgrade Bar, and last but not least, Gutenbar.
