About WordCamps

WordCamp is locally-organized, annual conference about WordPress. It hauls together WordPress community members from all over the world at a common place. It provides a great chance to share insights and experiences, conduct business and make connections and most importantly, talk about WordPress.

WordCamps have been conducted in Nepal since 2011 under the name WordCamp Nepal. However, WordCamp Kathmandu is a new thing. According to WordPress Nepal, the concept of WordCamp Kathmandu has been initiated to encourage the other smaller communities in the country.

This will not be the first ever WordCamp in Nepal though. WordCamps in Nepal were organized under the name of WordCamp Nepal and had been since the formation of WordPress Nepal in 2011. But starting this year, in order to encourage other smaller communities in the country as per an unofficial announcement by WordCamp Central, the concept of WordCamp Kathmandu was born.

Where & Why

WordCamp 2016 will be conducted at Nepal Administrative Staff College, Jawalakhel. Everyone who has an interest and can afford should attend the event. I’d have preferred if there was some sort of student discount on the pricing, but I guess it’s meant for professionals only. You can end up meeting with like-minded people, share your opinions and ideas and also have lots of fun along with good food.
