Some of the best moments at WordCamp US happen after the last session wraps. Side events are the meetups, rooftop parties, dinners, and early-morning runs that community members and companies host around the conference. Browse what’s happening, RSVP where it’s required, and if you’re hosting something, submit it to be added to the list.
Note: Side events are neither endorsed nor organized by WordCamp US. They can be organized by anyone attending the conference who would like to set up a get-together that does not conflict with the primary event schedule. The organizers of these events agree to adhere to the Code of Conduct. For special requests such as accessibility needs, dietary requirements, etc., please reach out to the event organizer directly.
