The first-ever Finnish WordCamp gathered a few hundred fellow WordPress enthusiasts to Tampere back in 2015. This September, on 14.-15., our community will return to the city where everything started.
Content has been planned with all skill levels, employment types and interests in mind. We do not discriminate, and WordPress users, developers, designers, people working in agencies or as a freelancer and other enthusiasts are all welcome, regardless of the experience level.
We are more than thrilled about the upcoming lineup of talks and speakers. The best and most exciting part is that many of the topics do come outside of the WordPress world! WordCamp Finland will truly have educational, insightful and thought-provoking talks for everyone.
Here’s a sneak peak of some of the topics:
Analytics in GDPR era
Climate change and WordPress, things to consider
Optimizing e-commerce
Work fatigue, how to prevent it and cope from it
Open source and WordPress communities, how do those benefit you?
Web Platform API’s and Gutenberg, modern Javascript development with WordPress
Terminal and WP-CLI
Designing more accessible websites and accessibility testing
Achieving better and more inclusive web design, content and UX
Security and hacked websites
…and much more!
WordCamp Finland 2023 sessions will take place in Tampere on Friday 15. September. Most of the sessions will be held in English, although there are a handful of sessions held in Finnish as well.
The day before, on Thursday 14. September, a contributing evening will take place starting at 16:00. The contributing evening will feature workshops where you can contribute and learn about various WordPress-related topics in a hands-on setting. No coding skills required!
During the whole event, there will also be ample time for networking and meeting other WordPress enthusiasts. Getting to meet and learn from other WordPress users face-to-face is one of the main reasons people attend WordCamps. In addition to learning from each other, attendees often make new friends and find employees/employers from the WordCamp crowd.
Secure your tickets now and ensure you’ll get to experience all of the insightful talks and activities with a welcoming community!
The full list of speakers, session descriptions and schedule will be published in early August, so make sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin to get the latest updates. Naturally the WordPress Finland Slack has #events-wcfi channel and discussion is ongoing on WPWoofi Facebook group.

At the heart of every revolution lies a spark that ignites the collective spirit, driving the wheels of change and inspiring the future. In the realm of WordPress, this spark is the passion for innovation, collaboration, and creativity. WordCamp Jinja 2023 is proud to stand as a torchbearer in this journey, with a mission to empower the future generation of WordPress users: our students and their teachers.
Scheduled for the 4th and 5th of September, 2023, at Iganga Secondary School the prestigious girl’s school in Eastern Uganda. WordCamp Jinja 2023 embraces the theme, “There is always more to learn!” – adapted from the learn.wordpress.org platform. This year, we aim to create a platform for students and teachers to engage with the vibrant WordPress community, empowering them to harness the true potential of this versatile platform.
But WordCamp Jinja 2023 is not merely an exclusive domain for students and teachers. Oh no, dear friends! The invitation extends far and wide, reaching out to the local tech communities to partake in the festivities. We believe that learning is a lifelong journey, and WordPress is a great companion along the way. Whether you are a student, a teacher, a developer, a designer, a blogger, or an entrepreneur, there is always something new to discover and share with WordPress.
The event will feature hands-on and minds-on workshops that encourage participants to explore the depths of the Learn WordPress platform, while also offering an Entrepreneurship Track with breakout speaker presentations. The extra Contributor Day, scheduled for the 6th of September at The Innovation Village in Jinja, will feature a Website Hackathon to further engage and inspire the attendees as their skills are put to the test to create stunning websites with WordPress in a limited time, working in teams and competing for prizes and glory!.
We believe that by fostering a spirit of learning and collaboration, we can help shape the minds of the future, ensuring a legacy of innovation and progress. To achieve this, we are extending a warm invitation to speakers / trainers. If you have a story to tell, knowledge to share, or inspiration to spread, please submit your proposal through our Call for Speakers page: https://jinja.wordcamp.org/2023/call-for-speakers/

Together, let us embark on a journey of learning and empowerment at WordCamp Jinja 2023, and create a brighter future for the next generation of WordPress enthusiasts at the heart of Africa and beyond!
PS: WordCamp Jinja 2023 is the second WordCamp to be organised by Jinja WordPress Meetup, after a successful WordCamp Jinja 2022 on 2nd – 3rd Sept last year at The Innovation Village in Jinja City. WordPress Jinja Meetup holds regular meetups for WordPress enthusiasts in Jinja and nearby towns.

WordCamp Entebbe, a two-day event that took place on the 10th and 11th of March, 2023, was a resounding success and was attended by over 200 people. The event, which was focused on the WordPress content management system, drew attendees from across Uganda and beyond. However, what made this event stand out was its commitment to gender diversity in the tech industry.
The organizers of WordCamp Entebbe made a concerted effort to ensure that women were well-represented at the event. The gender diversity program featured female speakers and student attendees. This program was designed to inspire more women to pursue careers in technology, and it proved to be a huge success.

Over the course of the two-day event, attendees had the opportunity to attend a wide range of sessions, workshops, and presentations. Many of these were led by female speakers who shared their experiences and expertise with the audience.
The topics covered ranged from beginner-level introductions to WordPress to more advanced topics such as website optimization, content creation, and web security.
One of the most inspiring sessions of the event was a panel discussion on women in tech. This session featured female leaders in the Ugandan tech industry who shared their experiences and insights with the audience. The panelists talked about the challenges they had faced as women in a male-dominated industry and offered advice on how to overcome those challenges.

Another highlight of WordCamp Entebbe was the student program. This program provided an opportunity for students to attend the event and learn more about WordPress and the tech industry in general. The students were able to attend workshops and presentations, network with professionals in the industry, and gain valuable insights into the world of tech as well as introduced to the new study curriculum of the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT) a Ugandan quality assurance directorate offering nationally, regionally and internationally recognized quality assurance services for the Business, Technical, Vocational Education and Training (BTVET) were students can use WordPress in their final year projects and graded on a national level.
Overall, WordCamp Entebbe was a hugely successful event that demonstrated the power of gender diversity in the tech industry.
By creating a program that was focused on empowering women in Tech, the organizers of this event helped to inspire a new generation of female technologists. It is our hope that more events like WordCamp Entebbe will be organized even in schools so that we can continue to build a more diverse and inclusive tech industry.
