Kanoppi Previews WordCamp Europe 2025 | WordPress Community in Basel  

We’re thrilled to announce that Kanoppi will be attending WordCamp Europe 2025, taking place in the stunning city of Basel, Switzerland, from June 5–7.

As always, WordCamp Europe (WCEU) is one of the highlights of the WordPress calendar, a place where developers, designers, agencies, contributors, and creatives from around the world gather to connect, learn, and build the future of the web together.

Why we’re heading to Basel

Basel, nestled along the Rhine and rich in both culture and innovation, provides the perfect backdrop for this year’s WCEU. Known for its vibrant arts scene, commitment to green living, and thriving tech community, the city mirrors the values Kanoppi brings to our work: creativity, collaboration, and a strong focus on sustainability.

At Kanoppi, we’re passionate about WordPress websites that not only perform beautifully but also tread lightly on the planet. WordCamp Europe gives us the chance to explore the latest advances in WordPress, performance, accessibility, and sustainability, while connecting with WordPress professionals who care deeply about the web’s future.

What to expect from the event

If this is your first time at a WordCamp, the conference can be overwhelming at first. There are so many people, and with over 40 sessions across three days, there is so much to see and do.

We find the hallway track, networking and talking with agency and product owners, speakers and friends we have met over the years, the most fun. From coffee breaks to the after party, there are plenty of chances to connect and chat with fellow WordPress lovers.

“From my experience, the WordPress community is extremely friendly, and if you are on your own, approaching people to say hello can result in very interesting conversations.”

Louise Towler

Highlights from last year

If last year’s event in Tourino is anything to go on, then we’re all set to have a wonderful time in Switzerland. There were plenty of great presentations and sessions last year, in stunning surroundings, as well as lovely food and after-parties each evening.

How to prepare to get the most value from WordCamp Europe 2024

If this is your first time attending WordCamp Europe, we’d recommend you prepare by…

• Visit the official WordCamp Europe 2024 website to familiarise yourself with the schedule, speakers, and sessions.
• Prioritise the sessions you want to attend and create a personal schedule.
• Follow relevant hashtags (e.g., #WCEU) to connect with other attendees.
• Network and prepare a brief introduction about yourself and your work to share when chatting with people.
• Bring business cards or have your LinkedIn profile ready to share.
• Think about questions you might want to ask speakers, sponsors and other attendees. This can help you get more out of sessions and networking opportunities.

And don’t forget to pack…

• Comfortable clothing and shoes, as you’ll likely be on your feet a lot.
• A notebook and pen or a digital device for taking notes.
• Chargers for your devices and possibly a power bank.
• Snacks and a water bottle to stay energised and hydrated throughout the day.
• But do leave space in your suitcase for all the swag you will be taking home!

We’d love to meet you if you’re heading to WordCamp Europe 2025! Whether you’re working on performance optimisation, scaling accessibility, reducing digital emissions, or want to talk tech over a coffee, get in touch.

And of course, there is the after-party on Saturday night!
