Wordcamp Contributor Day 2026

Welcome to Contributor Day https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/welcome-to-contributor-day/

On contributor day I am happy to sign up as a student! https://us.wordcamp.org/2026/tickets/

Contributor Day has traditionally been organized by a team. You’d find the Core table, the Documentation table, the Polyglots table, and join the one matching your skills.


This year, they organized around goals, specific things they want to finish. Having the skills needed (PHP, HTML, CSS), I couldn’t be at the event in-person. Instead, I chose to sign up for the Freelancer track.

When I last volunteered for WordPress Greece, I worked remotely as part of a team to create instructions on how to clone a WordPress theme. — Valerie Blackburn, Val Marketing Sole Proprietor


Today WordCamp US will make the day about improving WordPress. This year they are trying something new. What’s new this year? Goals, not teams.

WordPress works because contributors show up.
