WordCamp Asia has unveiled its host city for 2025 – Manila, Philippines. After Bangkok and Taiwan, it is Manila’s turn to take center stage as the venue for the flagship event, tentatively slated for February 2025.
The host city was announced at the Taipei International Convention Center in Taiwan as the WordCamp Asia 2024 came to a close. This year’s three-day event attracted over 1,300 attendees with an impressive lineup of 55 speakers including the WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg and the Executive Director of the WordPress project Josepha Haden Chomphosy.
Asia has a very large WordPress community, and discussions about organizing a regional flagship event have been ongoing for years. However, due to the pandemic in 2020, it became the first international event to be canceled and finally became a reality only in 2023.
Known as the Pearl of the Orient, Manila is the vibrant capital of the Philippines. Every corner promises to delight and charm the visitors, from the historic walled city of Intramuros to the bustling markets and majestic churches of Quiapo.
WC Asia 2023 had a dedicated team of 53 organizers while the 2024 version saw 46 individuals in action. The upcoming 2025 event, too, needs passionate organizers to make it a success. Interested candidates can now fill out the application form.
