WordCamp Finland: back to Tampere with educational, insightful and thought-provoking talks

Posted by on June 30, 2023 with Comments are off for this post

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.
