Next year, WordCamp Asia 2027 heads to Penang, Malaysia. From April 9 to 11, the WordPress community will gather at the Penang Waterfront Convention Centre for three days of contribution, learning, and connection. Tickets are on sale and sponsorship applications are open, so now is the time to make your plans.
In 2026, WordCamp Asia brought 2,627 attendees to Mumbai, India. More than 1,500 participants joined Contributor Day, where table leads guided work on more than 20 contribution tables. The conference days that followed covered topics ranging from AI and developer workflows to enterprise WordPress and journalism on the open web, and closed with a panel featuring WordPress Executive Director Mary Hubbard, Peter Wilson, and Sergey Biryukov.
WordPress is not a company. It is a shared commitment to keeping the web open.

The mix of hands-on work and big-picture conversation is what sets a WordCamp apart. You learn from the people who build, scale, and maintain WordPress every day, trade ideas in the hallway between sessions, and head home with new collaborators and fresh energy for the work ahead.
Penang offers a memorable setting for WC Asia. George Town, a short drive from the venue, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and National Geographic named Penang one of the best places in the world to travel to in 2027. The island is famous for its food, from internationally-recognized street food to fine dining, and it is one of Malaysia’s leading destinations for tourism. If you can, give yourself a day or two on either side of the conference to explore.
A regular ticket costs only USD $35, thanks to our sponsors. It covers both conference days, lunch and refreshments, and the after party. Tickets are released in batches, so buying early secures your place and helps organizers plan for everyone who is coming. Contributor Day on April 9 has its own registration, which opens January 27, 2027. It is limited to 600 participants.

None of this happens without sponsors. Their support keeps ticket prices low, backs the volunteers and contributors who make the event run, and helps WordCamp Asia stay true to the values of the WordPress project. In return, sponsors meet an engaged, international audience of developers, agencies, business owners, and creators.
Five packages are available, from a Small Business table to a Platinum booth, so there is a fit for local companies and global brands alike. Every sponsor also gets access to the Career Corner, a dedicated space for meeting and hiring WordPress professionals.
Packages are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis, so reach out early if your company wants to be involved.
WordCamp Asia is organized by and for the community. Volunteers, organizers, speakers, sponsors, and attendees each shape what the event becomes, whether they are contributing for the first time or reconnecting with collaborators they have known for years.
However you choose to take part, your presence matters. Buy a ticket, bring a colleague, sponsor the event, or share this post with someone who should be there. Each of those choices strengthens WordPress and the people behind it.
See you in Penang.
