WordCamp Finland returns to its roots at Tampere

The first-ever Finnish WordCamp gathered a few hundred fellow WordPress enthusiasts to Tampere back in 2015. This September, our community will return to the city where everything started.

The organising team considered returning to the same venue, but the community has outgrown its walls. So this time, we’re going big.

The venue for WordCamp Finland 2023 is the legendary Tampere Hall (Tampere Talo), one of the country’s biggest conference centres.

The whole of Friday, September 15th, is dedicated to sessions related to working with WordPress and in the web industry at large. Session will start at 9:00. The after-party in the evening completes the long-due gathering of our community.

A more detailed schedule will be published closer to the event.

Ticket sales

We want that attending is possible for a large group of people. Travels, accommodation, loss of revenue during the event days and other potential costs can already easily add up for some. That’s why we kept the price intentionally low, thanks to our sponsors who help us to achieve that.

The ticket price is 25 €. There will also be an option to buy a community supporter micro-sponsor ticket for 50 €. Ticket sales open on May 3rd.

Speak at the event?

WordCamp Finland wouldn’t be anything without the people who share their knowledge, expertise, experience, and stories with the community!

If you have something interesting in mind, consider applying to speak! The Call for Speakers is open until April 28, 2023.
