Why You Should Come to WordCamp Europe
WordCamps are events that bring together local WordPress communities. Normally, they’re held for around one to 2 days.
But WordCamp Europe is a flagship WordCamp – an enormous gathering that spans three days and covers a broad geographical area. This larger scale means there are more activities you possibly can join and more opportunities to socialize with fellow WordPress enthusiasts. Currently, there are three flagship WordCamps – Europe, Asia, and the US.
