A Whole New Day of Workshops Is Coming to WordCamp Canada

WordCamp Canada 🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario 🍁 October 15-17

Clear your calendar! WordCamp Canada 2025 just got even bigger: we’re adding a full day of hands-on workshops on October 15th. And here’s the best part: it’s included in your ticket. That’s right, the same low $100 price now gets you three incredible days of WordPress learning, networking, and inspiration.

This isn’t just “a couple of workshops.” We’re talking two full tracks running side by side, with something for everyone: beginners ready to dive in, and developers looking to sharpen their skills with advanced topics.

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

The Beginners Track 🧑‍💻

Starting from square one? Perfect. Our morning sessions are designed to give you a comfortable, guided introduction to WordPress — you’ll walk away knowing how to set up and actually use your site.

After lunch, we’ll go deeper into two essentials every site needs:

  • Accessibility – because your site should be welcoming and usable for everyone.
  • SEO – because what’s the point of a site if no one can find it?

By the end of the day, you won’t just know WordPress basics, you’ll know how to build a site people can find and actually use.

The Developer Track 👩‍🍳⚡🤖

For the devs in the room, we’ve cooked up something special:

  • A block development workshop led by a famous WordPress chef (yes, you read that right).
  • More advanced, hands-on developer content is in the works — we’ll be announcing additional sessions soon.
  • And a couple of surprises we’re keeping under wraps… for now. (Trust us, they’ll be worth the wait.)

Even with one of our planned sessions shifting, this track is shaping up to be a rare chance to get practical, workshop-style learning with some of the best in the business. If you’re building with WordPress today (or want to level up), you won’t want to miss it.

Why This Matters ✨

Traditionally, October 15th is Contributor Day, an important but sometimes overlooked part of WordCamp. This year, we’re doubling down on the value of that day. Contributor Day is still happening (and you should definitely check it out), but now you’ll also have access to a packed schedule of workshops you won’t find at most WordCamps.

Don’t Miss Out

Three days. One ticket. $100.

Where else can you get all of this, plus keynotes, coffee breaks, contributor opportunities, and the chance to connect with hundreds of WordPressers from across Canada and beyond?

Workshops like these don’t come around often. Make sure you’re part of it.

🎟️ Grab your ticket today and we’ll see you in Ottawa.
