At the heart of every WordCamp, you can feel the spirit of the WordPress community: Curiosity. Collaboration. Connection.
Every WordCamp that happens in any city in the world is a grassroots gathering — the result of thousands of hours of work from passionate volunteers. A place where beginners, seasoned developers, content creators, and entrepreneurs come together to share all kinds of things, from stories to skills to strategies. Together, they create the web and the world.
WordCamp ticket prices are always accessible. But you get everything you’d find at much grander (and far more expensive) conferences. And that WordCamp bonus: the people, from lively hallway chats to the helpful kindness of the folks at the Happiness Bar.
Where but in WordPress do you get senior management from competing companies who vacation together?

Why WordCamp Canada Feels So Special
This October, Carleton University in Ottawa is the scene of the next chapter in our national story. Perched gracefully beside the Rideau River and crackling with the energy of scholarly discovery, the Carleton campus welcomes a world of innovation, accessibility, sustainability, and learning.
WordCamp Canada is a national event.
It’s a moment to pull together all our diverse voices from coast to coast. To celebrate our entire Canadian web community. And find ways to turn our challenges — bilingualism, Indigenous perspectives, rural connectivity, and more — into steel bridges to the future.
Of course, Canada and the web are part of a changing world. It’s one where open source and open platforms may be more important, and more challenged, than ever.
WCEH 2025: A Celebration of Ideas, Connections & Possibility
Remember your own school days? (Or the ones you might have wished for?) Imagine coming back to a campus buzzing with energy: late-night debates, hallway inspiration, creative risk-taking. That’s exactly the vibe you’ll find at WordCamp this October.
Expect big-picture conversations:
- WordPress and the Rise of AI
– How LLMs are changing the way people create content and build the web.
– Our human obligation to keep the web truthful, kind, and inclusive. - Open Web vs. Walled Gardens
– Keeping the internet open, interoperable, and independent.
– Making and keeping WordPress, the Fediverse, and Open Source the best tools for resistance. - Innovation at the Edge
– WordPress as a platform for experimentation.
– Headless builds, automation, AI, and new digital business models.
On top of sessions and workshops, there will be hands-on hacking, maybe some demos, and plenty of time to exchange ideas.
What You’ll Take Away
- Connect with Canadians from all corners of the country — and many other countries.
- Deepen your craft – learn from people in your field or far outside it.
- Grow the collective – we all get better (and have more fun) together.
It’s a Celebration!
And what a celebration WCEH is. Of ideas, connection, and possibility. If you’re a local meetup regular, you’re a first-time attendee, or you’ve been traveling to WordCamps for years, something powerful is here for you.
Don’t miss a minute!
- Mark your calendar for October 16–17, 2025.
- Get your tickets.
- Plan your trip: Make travel and lodging arrangements.
- Maybe volunteer?
- Get ready to plug in… Your ideas, your energy, your unique voice. Come dressed in plaid, ready to debate, build, and connect!
WordCamp Canada is not just another conference. It’s a national moment. It’s where bold thinking meets community action, where open‑source ideals meet Canadian creativity. It’s our shared stage to shape the future of the web—together.
See you in Ottawa! 🇨🇦
