WordCamp Europe 2026 is heading to Kraków, Poland and Indigo Tree will be there. As a WordPress agency, WCEU is one of the highlights of our year. It’s when we network and connect: how we work, how we think, and the conversations we have with clients when we get back.
This year, 49 talks and workshops across two conference days make it the biggest programme WCEU has put together yet. Here’s why we’re going, and what we’ll be watching.
WordCamp Europe 2026: Kraków dates and venue
From 4–6 June, the WordPress community gathers at the ICE Kraków Congress Centre for what promises to be a packed few days. Contributor Day kicks things off on 4 June, then the main conference runs on 5 and 6 June.
Kraków is a brilliant choice of a city. Its historic old town sits alongside a genuinely lively tech and startup scene. Like WordPress itself, it manages to honour what came before while staying current.
The sessions we have our eye on at WCEU 2026
The WordCamp Europe 2026 programme covers accessibility, AI, business, security, development, and community. For us, these are the sessions already in our calendars:
- WordPress for scientists: building engineering websites at CERN with Akanksha Chatterjee: the opening keynote, and a brilliant reminder of what WordPress can do at scale. Akanksha shares lessons from building and maintaining eight websites for one of the world’s most complex scientific organisations, with a focus on governance, workflow, and long-term sustainability. If we ever need to make the case for WordPress to a sceptical stakeholder, this will be the one to refer to.
- Accessibility in themes: easier than you think with Jessica Lyschik: practical insights from real theme reviews, covering both block and classic themes
- The clarity dividend: accessibility as an SEO strategy with Anne-Mieke Bovelett: making the business case for accessible design, including how the European Accessibility Act is reshaping expectations for every website owner
- AI won’t save your marketing (but it might save your time and money) with Monika Dimitrova: the title says it all, and it’s exactly the honest conversation agencies need to be having
- Agentic AI and WordPress: from prompts to tools and systems with Vito Peleg: a hands-on workshop building real AI workflows for WordPress sites
- Nobody knows what you know (and that’s your problem) with Vassilena Valchanova: on positioning, thought leadership, and closing the expertise-visibility gap
We’ll take notes, ask questions, and bring back ideas to share with our team and clients.
Connecting with the WordPress community
WordCamp Europe isn’t just the talks. It’s the conversations and hallway track that makes the differece, speaking with agency owners facing the same challenges and hearing how other people work. In addition, it’s talking to developers whose plugins we rely on, and community members doing genuinely interesting work.
We’re also hoping to see the WP Includes mentoring community. Giving back to the WordPress ecosystem matters to us, and events like this are where that happens in person.
And yes, Contributor Day. Whether you’re contributing code, documentation, accessibility testing, or writing, there’s a place for you, and it’s worth signing up separately.
Why we go as a WordPress agency
We build WordPress websites that are fast, accessible, and built to last. WCEU gives us a room full of people who care about the same things and are willing to share what works for them.
This year, we’re especially interested in how the AI conversation is maturing, with less hype and more practical ideas and features built into WordPress itself.. The sessions above reflect that shift, and we want to bring back ideas and tools our team can actually use.
Let’s connect in Kraków
If you’re heading to WordCamp Europe 2026, whether you’re an agency, a freelancer, or a WordPress enthusiast, come and find us. We’re always happy to chat over coffee about accessibility, sustainability, or whatever’s keeping you busy right now.
Look for Louise, Paul and Kelly. We’ll be the ones with full notebooks and lots of opinions in the hallway track.
See you in Kraków!
