Only 2 days left for the first in-person WordCamp after pandemia!

At WordPress Sevilla, we have put hands-on work to get back together and fill the space and distance that has left us this big parenthesis opened by the pandemic.

On next December 11 and 12, the WordPress Sevilla community invites you to participate in the first in-person WordCamp, an event to meet again.

Requirements to attend

To attend WordCamp Sevilla 2021, you must meet at least one of the following requirements:

  •  have a complete vaccination schedule,
  •  have a recent negative PCR,
  •  or having passed the COVID-19 less than 3 months ago.

The program

On this occasion, our program is designed to take a look at the community’s past, to see how this time of pandemic has affected us, and how we have adapted to this new future.

We will discuss in an informal way, giving the word to anyone who, from their experience, wants to contribute new ideas for the relations, meetings, and spread of WordPress and its community.

But the highlight of this first in-person event is the special Community Day that we have prepared for Sunday, December 12. The details are yet to be defined, but if I were you, I wouldn’t miss it!

Your ticket

 For only 18 €, you will enjoy:

  • Breakfast, lunch, and even dinner.
  • Live an authentic after-party.
  • Great gifts.
  • And the human and professional warmth from the members of one of the best technological communities.

Welcome to the first in-person WordCamp since the beginning of this pandemic!
