WordCamp Asia, the flagship event of the WordPress community in Asia, has announced that its 2025 edition will be held in Manila, Philippines. This exciting news was revealed at the Taipei International Convention Center in Taiwan, as WordCamp Asia 2024 came to a close.
With a history of successful events in Bangkok and Taiwan, Manila is set to take center stage in February 2025. The three-day event is expected to attract a large number of attendees, as seen in previous years. In fact, WordCamp Asia 2024 drew over 1,300 participants who were treated to an impressive lineup of 55 speakers. Among them were WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg and the Executive Director of the WordPress project, Josepha Haden Chomphosy.
The decision to host WordCamp Asia in Manila is a testament to the thriving WordPress community in the Philippines. Discussions about organizing a regional flagship event have been ongoing for years, and it’s a great achievement for Manila to finally be selected as the host city. However, due to the pandemic in 2020, the event had to be canceled and was only able to take place in 2023.
Manila, known as the Pearl of the Orient, is a vibrant and enchanting city that promises to captivate visitors. From the historic walled city of Intramuros to the bustling markets and majestic churches of Quiapo, every corner of Manila is filled with charm. Attendees can look forward to exploring the rich culture and heritage of this captivating city.
To ensure the success of WordCamp Asia 2025, a team of passionate organizers is needed. The previous editions had dedicated teams of 53 and 46 organizers for 2023 and 2024 respectively. Interested candidates can now fill out the application form and join the team that will make this event a memorable one.
As the WordPress community continues to grow in Asia, WordCamp Asia plays a crucial role in bringing together enthusiasts, developers, and professionals from all over the region. It provides a platform for sharing knowledge, networking, and fostering collaboration among WordPress enthusiasts.
In conclusion, Manila, Philippines, has been chosen as the host city for WordCamp Asia 2025. This highly anticipated event will bring together the WordPress community in Asia for three days of learning, networking, and celebration. With its vibrant culture and rich history, Manila is poised to offer attendees an unforgettable experience.
