What is a WordCamp?
More than 30% of the websites you visit on a daily basis are built with the WordPress open source software, a platform the usage of which is rising constantly, especially in Greece. This is the reason why we organise WordCamp Thessaloniki 2018, a conference about but not exclusive to WordPress.
WordCamps hold discussions on various topics: Startups, e-Commerce and Βlogging are just some of the topics covered at conferences like the one getting prepared at the moment.
Globally, WordCamps are supported by the WordPress Foundation—the official nonprofit organisation the purpose of which is the preservation of the openness of WordPress—and this conference is approved and recognised by the Foundation.
Whom does a WordCamp concern
A WordCamp is for anyone that works with WordPress, at any level of experience and knowledge, but not only. The conference is addressed to any internet user interested in getting informed on the news around WordPress, including but not limited to Web Developers, Web Designers, Βloggers, Journalists, Content Editors, Web Editors, Social Media Managers and many more fields of expertise or professionals.
Who organises the conference
WordCamp Thessaloniki 2018 is organised by volunteers, members of the WordPress Greek Community. In particular, 15 members of the community (who you can see in more detail here), have shared the responsibilities and work to give life to the conference for the third year in a row, after two successful WordCamps in Athens.
How it is financed
As mentioned earlier, the WordPress Foundation is the valuable partner and supporter of our efforts. While a big part of WordCamp Thessaloniki 2018 is financed by Foundation’s global sponsors and supporters, we also have the ability to seek out local sponsorships, monetary or providing a service, by companies active in Greece.
For that purpose, there are 5 sponsor packages available to anyone interested to pick one up and support the conference. Of course, these packages include a varying set of benefits.
How can I attend
The ticket to attend the conference for both days, including meals and coffee breaks, has a small price and you can purchase it here.
