Contributor Day is Back at WordCamp Canada. With Two Surprises!

Join us on Wednesday, October 15 the day before the main conference, for Contributor Day.

If you plan to attend Contributor Day, please RSVP to help us with lunch preparations.

What’s Contributor Day?

It’s a full day of collaboration, learning, and giving back to the WordPress project. Are you a seasoned contributor? Is this the first time you’ve ever thought about getting involved? Either way, Contributor Day is for you.

So come spend a great day in a welcoming space to meet WordPress friends and brand-new connections, share your knowledge and learn something brand-new (fun fact: everyone is an expert in something and a beginner in something!) and make a real impact.

What’s new this year?

Beyond the standard contribution tables you might be used to, this year’s Contributor Day will feature a dedicated workshop track focused on hands-on learning, mentorship, and practical skills.

In that track, you’ll get a chance to dive deeper into tools, techniques, and topics that matter to the whole WordPress community — and you’ll learn directly from some of the most experienced folks speaking at the conference.

All that and accessibility too!

Plus! October 15 is also WP Accessibility Day — a global event that’s just for advancing accessibility in WordPress and beyond. Join us at Contributor Day, and you can contribute directly to official accessibility initiatives at the very same time you’re kicking off an incredible three-day WordCamp experience in Ottawa.

So what’s your jam? Are you interested in contributing code? Want to improve documentation? Are you getting started with—or have massive expertise in!—accessibility? Or do you just want to meet a bunch of people? At Contributor Day, you can do all that and a whole lot more.

Stay tuned for more details! They are coming imminently. From how to register to a sneak peek at the workshop lineup, you’ll want to keep an eye out for all the info. We can’t wait to kick off WordCamp Canada 2025 with you!
