Namaskaaram/നമസ്കാരം, Web and WordPress enthusiasts from around the globe! The vibrant WordPress community of Kerala is thrilled to announce WordCamp Kerala 2024, the much-anticipated regional WordCamp in the southern state of Kerala, in India! This year, the event will take place in the historic coastal city of Kozhikode on November 9, 2024 (Saturday) at the Malabar Marina Convention Centre.
What is WordPress? 🙋♀️
WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), enabling anyone to create and manage websites or blogs with ease. As of 2024, WordPress powers over 43% of all websites on the internet, making it the leading platform for web development. Built using PHP, MySQL, and JavaScript, WordPress is used by some of the world’s most recognized brands literally every major brand you know, including (but not limited to) Meta (Facebook), Google, Microsoft, Rolling Stone, Harvard University, The U.S. Government, TIME Magazine, NASA.gov, The Hon. Indian Prime Minister’s Office, Salesforce, The New York Times Company, Capgemini, The Walt Disney Company… the list is, well, endless! 😱
What is a WordCamp? 🤔
WordCamps are official, community-organized conferences that cover everything related to WordPress, the open-source software that powers over 43% of the web. Supported by WordPress Community Support, PBC (a subsidiary of the WordPress Foundation), WordCamps are held worldwide, bringing together WordPress enthusiasts of all skill levels to share knowledge, network, and celebrate the platform that has revolutionized web publishing. As of this day, 1262 WordCamps were held in 401 Cities, in 65 Countries all over the world. WordCamps are different from your typical technology conferences as they provide fun, informal learning and networking opportunities for one and all.
What can you expect at WordCamp Kerala 2024? 👀
WordCamp Kerala is no stranger to Kerala a.k.a. the God’s Own Country, with three successful editions of WordCamp Kochi – held in 2017, 2018, and 2019, followed by the inaugural WordCamp Kerala 2023 which was a spectacle in itself! These events have played a pivotal role in building a strong WordPress community across the state, uniting nearly 4500 members from the Trivandrum, Kochi, Kozhikode, Palakkad, and Malappuram WordPress Meetup groups. After our wildly successful WordCamp last year in Kochi, we are excited to bring together all these local communities for another remarkable event in November 2024 at Kozhikode!
