10 Days Out: Here’s What You Need to Know

It’s hard to believe that we’re already so close. WordCamp US starts in just 10 days! Soon we’ll be on site together learning, contributing, and celebrating our community. We have a few announcements to share with you. Read on to learn more.

Closing Party

Wrap up WordCamp US 2026 in style! Join us for the Closing Party on Wednesday, August 19, 7 to 10 PM at On Jackson (245 E Jackson St, Phoenix, AZ 85004). On Jackson is about a 5 minute walk from the Convention Center. The Closing Party is the perfect way to celebrate an incredible week!

Your WordCamp US 2026 badge gets you into the Closing Party (and two free drink tickets!) so don’t leave home without it!

Call for Side Events

Side events are organized by individuals and companies around WordCamp US. These events are done around the rest of the WordCamp US schedule, so you can continue the fun even when we’re not at the convention center. 

If you’re planning an event, we’d love to hear from you! You can submit your event on our submission form, and we’ll get it added to the list. Looking for inspiration? Check out some of last year’s events.

Daily Lunch Menus

Each day of the conference, lunch will be served. We now have a page where you can see what each day has to offer. In addition to lunch, we will also be serving coffee and hot tea throughout the day. 

Dietary Restrictions and Severe Allergies

We want everyone at WordCamp US to feel welcome and well-fed. If you have dietary restrictions or severe allergies that we don’t yet know about, please let us know as soon as possible. A member of our team will reach out to you if needed to make sure that we have your needs met. 

Purchase WordPress Gear at the Mercantile

Back this year at WordCamp US is the WordPress Mercantile shop. On August 18 and 19 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you’ll be able to stop by our Mercantile Pop-up in the Sponsor Hall and check out drinkware, patches, stationery, accessories, and more. Grab something to commemorate your first WordCamp US or add to your growing collection of WordPress merch. Treat yourself! All shoppers will receive a 20% discount for a future online order.
