WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress, the free and open source personal publishing software that powers over 800 million sites (industry estimates) on the web, representing 43% of all websites (according to wordpress.org).
WordCamps come in all different flavors, based on the local communities that produce them, but in general, WordCamps include sessions on how to use WordPress more effectively, beginning plugin and theme development, advanced techniques, security, etc.
WordCamps are attended by people ranging from blogging newbies to professional WordPress developers and consultants, and usually combine scheduled programming with unconference sessions and other activities.
The first WordCamp was organized in San Francisco by Matt Mullenweg in 2006, and since then local communities around the world have organized hundreds of others. The first WordCamp Hong Kong was held on April 5th, 2009 at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park. The second one was held on October 12, 2019 in Wong Chuk Hang. This is the third time that WordCamp is held in Hong Kong.
