Canada’s Biggest WordPress Event of the Year
WordCamp Canada 2025 is taking place from October 15–17 in Ottawa, Ontario. It all starts with Contributor Day on the 15th and continues with two full days of sessions with 31 speakers and keynotes at Carleton University‘s Richcraft Hall followed by the Afterparty! 🎉
It’s a national and global gathering centred on WordPress, the open-source software powering nearly half the web. WordCamp Canada is for everyone with an interest in WordPress — from casual users to core contributors. Expect three days of learning, networking, blue sky thinking, and hands-on building the future of WordPress together in one of Canada’s most inspiring cities.
Carleton University
Set along the Rideau River, Carleton University is one of Canada’s most innovative and inclusive campuses. Richcraft Hall is a modern, Green Globe-certified building that reflects Carleton’s commitment to accessibility and sustainability.
About Ottawa
Canada’s capital blends natural beauty with vibrant culture. From historic landmarks and world-class museums to riverside trails and indie coffee shops, Ottawa is the perfect mix of city energy and small-town charm, especially stunning in the fall.
