WordCamp Brno 2022
For the first time in a while, we went to WordCamp in Brno. This year's event brought several new things.
At WordCamps around the world, people from the WordPress community meet to share their experience and knowledge and to inspire one another. There is a programme packed with talks by community members, and always room for questions or a chat.
What WordCamp Brno 2022 was like
Brno has a strong WordPress community, and after the pandemic the WordCamp finally took place in person again. It had a varied programme with a new format in which talks were combined with panel discussions. The audience could put questions to the panellists throughout each discussion, which created a space where everyone joined in. The talks covered a genuinely wide range of topics:
- Copywriting
- E-commerce
- Performance
- Page builders
- SEO
- Google Analytics 4
- UX
This year we also tried something new: networking stickers. There were two colours to choose from: red and green. If you fancied networking and meeting new people, you picked green. Red was for people who like to listen to the talks and enjoy some peace and quiet during the breaks. Of course, you could swap your sticker at any point during the WordCamp.
Our take on this year's WordCamp
Two of us from Webikon took part as volunteers: Jarka and Palo. They got to listen to the talks and came away with plenty of interesting insights and information. Hats off, of course, to the WordCamp organisers, who did a brilliant job and put on a great event.
“It was an inspiring weekend and the WordCamp was a success. It really is a place for everyone who is into IT, from beginners to professionals. I'd definitely recommend that everyone goes to a WordCamp.”
“For me, WordCamp Brno was a really successful conference. After more than two years, I could finally see all those familiar faces, meet new people and pick up fresh inspiration. And of course there has to be tasty catering and a great after-party.”
