WordCamp Stockholm is the official WordPress Conference in Sweden 2017.
Contributor Day 19 november
The program starts with a Contributor Day on Sunday November 19, 2017, at 9:30 to 17:00 in the premises of DIBS in central Stockholm – Kungsgatan 32.
The main idea with the Contributor Day is that we in a relaxed way help the development of WordPress and the surrounding community.
There will be three specialized groups, which all begin with a presentation/introduction and then continue in practical work:
- Translation of WordPress
- Composer-based WordPress development
- Support forums – giving and receiving help
In addition, we’ll have one more conference-like trail which mostly will deal with WooCommerce, a popular e-trade solution that is an extension to WordPress:
- Easy-Peasy checkout for WooCommerce
- Making WordPress and WooCommerce Fast and Scalable
- WooCommerce – hands-on workshop
However, most important at the Contributor Day would be the social part: Simply meeting other nice people, who use WordPress in various ways, just like you. Perhaps you just want to spend som time with other WordPress fans? Or work a bit on your own site? You’ll be surrounded by people that gladly will help you, should you get stuck. And maybe someone wants to see how you make your site work exactly as you want.
In order for you to get the most out of this day, we suggest you bring your own computer.
If you still don’t have any account at WordPress.org then it’s good to make sure you get one in advance at https://login.wordpress.org/
Please note that the number of seats on the Sunday event is limited. We’ll distribute information to all Conference participants on how to secure your spot here.
WordPress conference November 20
Monday is the then the very Conference happens. This year it will be executed jointly with Internetdagarna, the biggest event in Sweden around Internet business. The venue is Stockholm Waterfront Conference, very close to the central railway station Stockholm C.
We’ll have two parallell streams for WordPress, with lectures and discussions about a wide array of topics that all are connected to WordPress in various ways. Here are just a few examples:
- GDPR for WordPress users

- WordPress security
- … and much more
About half of the presentations will be in English, and the other half in Swedish. The schedule is laid out in such a way that you may choose to visit lectures in only Swedish or only English.
During the breaks between the lectures you’ll be able to meet with our great sponsors and mingle with all the other conference participants. Remember to bring your stack of business cards, you’re going to need them!
After party!
In the evening on, Monday November 20th you’re cordially invited by Oderland to an After Party, just a couple of minutes, walking distance, from the conference venue, in Sky Bar of Radisson Blu Royal Viking.
Do you want to become a “Micro Sponsor”?
When you buy your ticket, you’ve got the option to appoint your company as a Micro Sponsor. The more Micro Sponsors we get, the more subsidized tickets we’ll be able to offer (and the funnier an event we’ll all get!)
Micro Sponsors will get their logo and back link published on the official web site of the event. In addition, on the conference day, we’ll say an official “Thank you” from the podium for their support.
