Your guide to travelling to WordCamp London ‘without an aeroplane’

Tom Greenwood, who will be speaking on sustainability at WordCamp London 2019, shares his alternative travel tips. He writes:

As the biggest WordCamp in the UK, WordCamp London draws people from far and wide, not just from other parts of the UK, but internationally too. This year the team is trying to bring together information to make it even easier for people to travel within London to the venue in a sustainable manner. The team also wants to encourage those arriving from outside of London, especially from overseas, to choose the most sustainable methods of transport. That means looking at alternatives to air travel and keeping your feet firmly on the ground.

A massive thank you to our Camden Lock sponsors

Posted on by Alex Denning

WordCamp London is an event dedicated to connecting people in the WordPress community. A component of our mission is to make the access barrier as low as possible. A key part of that is the low ticket price.

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 Camden Lock sponsors for their commitment to the WordPress community, and drop by to say hello on the day.

Sustainability at WCLDN 2019

Posted on by babssaul

This year we’ve made sustainability even more important than it usually is for us here in London (and much has been incorporated previously, as with many WordCamps around the UK and the world).

We wanted to consider as many aspects as possible this year, not only the obvious plastic/paper usage, but more – what do we really need, what can be changed to have a lasting effect, and how can we balance the cost to the environment of our WordCamp.
