With WordCamp Asia around the corner, we’re looking forward to welcoming you! Here’s some important information to help you prepare for the event. 

Let’s start with Contributor Day (March 7, Thursday) 

The event kicks off with Contributor Day on March 7th. Please note that attending this day requires separate registration, distinct from your general event ticket.  If you’ve registered for Contributor Day, please arrive by 9 am for check-in. New contributors, don’t worry! We’ll start you off with a dedicated orientation process and you’d be supported by seasoned contributors throughout the day.
