Why WordCamps matter
WordCamps are much more than tech conferences. They’re a place where ideas take shape, challenges find solutions, and connections become collaborations. No matter your level of experience—whether you’re just starting out with WordPress or are a seasoned developer—WordCamps provide an inclusive environment for everyone to learn and grow.
The sessions go beyond technical details. You’ll find talks about solving real-world problems, improving user experience, and building stronger digital products. Workshops allow you to roll up your sleeves and try new things, while panel discussions help uncover diverse perspectives and practical solutions. What truly sets WordCamps apart is the community spirit—these events foster relationships that extend far beyond the two days. When you attend, you’re not just gaining knowledge; you’re becoming part of a supportive network of like-minded people.
Contributor Day: A moment to give back
WordCamp Malaysia began with Contributor Day on November 22, a day dedicated to giving back to the WordPress project. Attendees joined teams working on core development, translations, documentation, and more. It was inspiring to see people coming together, rolling up their sleeves, and actively contributing to making WordPress better for everyone.
We’re grateful that one of our team members, Arun Shenoy, had the wonderful opportunity to lead the Polyglot table. It’s always rewarding to see our team contribute to the community and share their expertise in such meaningful ways.
