About

WordCamp Asia is the first flagship WordCamp in Asia. So far, there have been three types of flagship WordCamps: US, Europe, and Centroamérica.

We chose Bangkok to be the first country to host WordCamp Asia because Thailand lies in the centre of Asia. Accessibility from everywhere, attractive landmarks, good foods, and open and friendly people.

What are WordCamps?

Our Vision

At the kick-off of WordCamp Asia 2020, we shared our vision for this event. These remain the 2023 team’s guiding principles.

Welcoming

Make it an inclusive, affordable, and interactive event.

Nurturing

Celebrate and support the growth of sustainable communities.

Experimental

Don’t be afraid to try new things, and learn from doing.

What is the Contributor Day?

You do not need to be a programmer or designer to know anything concerning WordPress to participate in Contributor Day. A great way to learn about the project and give to it is to participate by contribution.

Contributor Day for WordCamp Asia 2023, will be held on Friday, 17 February 2023.
