What’s WordCamp?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WordCamp Canada is a welcoming, community-driven gathering of WordPress enthusiasts\u2014from casual users to Core developers\u2014where we come together to share ideas, exchange knowledge, and celebrate the open-source spirit that powers the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well… What’s WordPress?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WordPress is the world\u2019s leading Content Management System, powering over 43% of all websites (as of January 2022), including those of global icons like the Government of Canada, CBC, and even Drake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what truly sets WordPress apart is that it\u2019s open-source\u2014meaning it\u2019s free to use, built by a passionate global community, and constantly evolving to empower creators of all kinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
