WordCamp Leipzig will take place on May 17, 2025, at the Ost-Passage Theater, welcoming the entire WordPress community. The event will run from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with doors opening at 9:00 AM, and will feature practical tips on topics such as accessible web design from the perspective of blind people, website design, and modern WordPress technologies in the special atmosphere of the venue.
As the self-proclaimed 'smallest WordCamp in the world,' the Leipzig event is deliberately organized according to the MVP principle, demonstrating that sustainability within the WordPress community is more than just empty words. By intentionally keeping attendance numbers low—expected to be around 70-90 participants according to event listings—organizers create an intimate atmosphere. This approach allows attendees to have meaningful interactions with the organizing team and speakers, actively enriching the WordCamp experience. The format puts users at the center, encouraging interactive participation in presentations and welcoming attendees' own ideas and questions.
The main event will be preceded by a free WordPress Workshop on May 16, 2025, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the same venue. This workshop welcomes users of all skill levels to bring their questions and problems, offering support from experienced community members. Additionally, Thomas Zwirner will lead a city tour of Leipzig on May 16, with various exploration options including bus, Trabant car, or boat tours available to participants.
The WordCamp itself is designed for the entire WordPress community, with speakers encouraged to share their expertise. There's a particular emphasis on promoting diversity, with special encouragement for women presenters. The event will cover a range of topics including development, content creation, accessibility, and sustainability. Among the confirmed speakers are Marie Möller and Dustyn Model, who will present on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at 1:15 PM.
This WordCamp serves as a connection point for the WordPress community, offering sponsors opportunities to present their brands to an engaged audience, build networks, and support the community. Individual sponsorship packages are available to accommodate various budgets and marketing objectives. All presentations will be published on wordpress.tv after the event for those unable to attend in person.
