Welcome to WordCamp Zurich

We’re delighted to announce that the latest Swiss WordPress Conference on Saturday, 14th September was a great success! Over two hundred people attended and around 50% of all attendees were at a WordCamp for the first time!

If you want to look back at the event and catch up on all the great talks, stay tuned to our Twitter account for details of how to access the videos at WordPress.tv. We’re also sharing photos from the event under a Creative Commons Attribution license.

The next Swiss WordCamp will take place in Geneva in March 2020, with a mix of talks in both French and English. Sign up for news about the event at https://2020.geneve.wordcamp.org/, or follow our Twitter account at https://twitter.com/wordcampgva

Here in Switzerland, regular WordCamps and Meetups bring people together from all over: not just the French-, Italian- and German-speaking parts of the country, but from all over Europe.

The community around WordPress is one of the system’s greatest strengths, and the worldwide WordCamps give developers, designers, managers and content producers the opportunity to meet, learn from one another, and improve both their own projects and WordPress itself.
