Iloilo City to host WordCamp Philippines on August 28 and 29, 2026

ILOILO CITY — WordCamp Philippines 2026 will take place at the Iloilo Convention Center on August 28 and 29, 2026, bringing the country’s WordPress community to Iloilo City for two days of learning, conversation, and connection.

The event will welcome developers, designers, content creators, marketers, business owners, students, freelancers, agencies, and WordPress users from across the Philippines and abroad.

Over 500 developers, designers, and content creators will attend the event. But what truly makes it special is not just the technology being showcased. It is the incredible story of how WordPress users from across the entire archipelago are joining forces to make it happen, utilizing agile coordination and solid project management to bring this vision to life.

An archipelago of ideas

WordCamp Philippines is aptly described by organizers as an archipelago of ideas. This flagship community conference is entirely organized by volunteers from the WordPress community. From students and freelancers to enterprise developers and business owners, Filipinos who are passionate about open source technology are working hand in hand to create an inclusive learning environment.

This volunteer-led effort ensures that the event stays completely true to the core principles of open-source collaboration, accessibility, and knowledge sharing.

Iloilo City

Iloilo was chosen with intention. Its central location, growing digital and business community, rich heritage, and reputation for warmth make it a fitting home for a gathering shaped by technology and people.

Attendees will come for the sessions, but they will also experience the city itself: the food, the culture, the hospitality, and the conversations that happen between talks.

WordCamps are local, community-organized events held around the world. They are non-profit, volunteer-led, and built for people who use, build with, contribute to, or are curious about WordPress.

“WordCamp Philippines 2026 is about bringing people together to learn, share practical knowledge, meet collaborators, and experience the strength of the Philippine WordPress community,” said the WordCamp Philippines 2026 organizing team. “Hosting it in Iloilo gives us the chance to welcome people into a city known for connection, culture, and care.”

No prior WordPress experience is required to attend. WordPress is the free, open-source software behind more than 43% of the web, from personal blogs and business websites to online stores and publishing platforms.

Iloilo has always been a city that brings people together. This August, it does so again—this time, for the web.
