If you’ve been excited about this year’s WordCamp Europe, you’re not alone! The event is nearly here and we couldn’t be more stoked about it!

We’ve also been working closely with the #WCEU crew during this time, ever since we enrolled as a media partner for this year’s event. Aside from the usual written informative content – some good ol’ interviews, previews, conference reviews, and roundups – we wanted to try something different this time. So why not a WordCamp Europe infographic, right? 🤓

The WordCamp Europe organizing team was very nice to share the numbers from the past editions with us, so we’ve put them all together into this single infographic. We know you guys love visuals, so we hope you will enjoy our work!

There were several stats that we were seeking for this infographic, which we managed to cover actually: from the participating countries to volunteers, organizers, live streaming, fun events introduced yearly, the location of past editions, speakers, and other interesting facts about WCEU.

And before I forget, let me just say that the organizers are doing a great job keeping alive one of the biggest WordPress events in the world. Kudos for that! 🙂

So… how did WordCamp Europe evolve since its premiere in 2013? Have a look at this infographic and see for yourself! By the way, if you’re not done with the preparations for Belgrade yet, you should hurry up because #WCEU will start in a blink of an eye. Don’t forget to check the full schedule for #WCEU 2018 here.
