What is a WordCamp

More than 40% of the websites you visit on a daily basis are built with the WordPress open-source software, a platform widely used all over the world and it is rising constantly, especially in Greece. The WordPress Greek Community organizes WordCamp Athens, a conference dedicated to all aspects around WordPress.

WordCamps are conducted in 120 countries around the world and they explore a variety of topics regarding WordPress based projects, websites, blogs, plugins and much more. Globally, WordCamps are supported by the WordPress Foundation, the official nonprofit organization with the goal to preserve the openness of WordPress. This conference is approved and endorsed by the WordPress Foundation and WordPress Central.
