The WordPress and WordCamp Genève team

Das nächste WordCamp in Genf war ursprünglich für den 21.03.2020 geplant, wurde aber aufgrund der COVID19-Pandemie sinnvollerweise auf den 10.10.2020 verschoben.

Weitere Infos gibt es auf 2020.geneve.wordcamp.org. Hier ein offizielles Statement des Organisations-Teams auf Englisch vom 10.03.2020, welches auch auf Französisch verfügbar ist.

WordCamp Genève 2020 postponed

It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel the WordCamp Genève on March 21st, or at least postpone it for about 6 months, subject to an overall improvement of the « coronavirus » situation.

We saw this morning the Swiss government’s decision to ban large-scale events involving more than 1000 people. This has led to the cancellation of the Geneva Motor Show, and we have the feeling that such measures could also be extended to smaller events, including our WordCamp.

Considering that this event gathers people coming from a multitude of different places and that cases of coronavirus have appeared in Geneva, it is our responsibility to think first about the safety of all. We, therefore, decided to postpone the WordCamp.

Should the global epidemic situation be resolved (virus contained and/or vaccine/treatment available), the WordCamp could be postponed to next autumn.

We are in permanent contact with the WordCamp Community Support (WPCS, the foundation at the head of all events), with whom we will talk about the different steps to follow. If you are a speaker or sponsor, please reply to this email and let us know if you plan to maintain your participation (depending on the new date).

If you have travel and/or accommodation booking fees, the foundation can provide an official letter for you to present to those vendors, mentioning the event has been cancelled/postponed.

For all those who have purchased a standard ticket for CHF 25.00 or a microsponsor ticket for CHF 150.00, you can decide if you want to keep the ticket for the autumn event or if you want to be refunded.

We thank you for your understanding and support. We sincerely hope that a postponement of the WordCamp Genève 2020 will be possible. We wish everyone well.

The WordCamp Genève 2020 organising team

After Zurich in 2014 and 2015, Geneva in 2016, and Bern in 2017, Lausanne will host the 5th WordCamp in Switzerland on September 28 and 29, 2018

The conference day will take place Saturday 29th September, it will be a bilingual English-French event. And the Contributor Day will be held on Friday 28th September. Contributor days are a great way to learn how to contribute to the WordPress open source project.

The organization team needs help to make a WordCamp happen. Welcoming visitors, helping to serve food, etc.. Motivated ? Join them! To make sure the WordCamp experience will be great for everyone.

WPTranslationDay 3 is a 24-hour global event dedicated to the translation of the WordPress ecosystem (core, themes, plugins).

It’s a unique and innovative event, a cool mix of digital and physical: the international community of the WP Polyglots will meet at the same time locally and digitally for a 24-hour translating marathon that will provide inspiration and training to both coders and translators on localizing and internationalizing through live talks and local meetups.

And this year the celebration is double: September 30 has also been designated as International Translation Day by the United Nations!

We’re happy to announce that the next Swiss WordCamp is going to be held in Bern this autumn! The organizers have been able to secure the UniS conference location, near Bern’s main train station, and we’d love it if you could join us on Saturday, September 9.

This website will be regularly updated as more details are confirmed over the coming months, including speaker submissions, ticket sales and more! We’re also arranging a Contributor Day for Friday, September 8.

If you’d like to keep up-to-date via social media, you can follow @wordcampbern on Twitter, on Facebook, or in the WordPress Switzerland Slack channel.

Call for Sponsors

WordCamps are non-profit events, organized by people from within the community on a voluntary basis. Regular meetups in Swiss towns and cities like Bern, Luzern, Zurich and Geneva all contribute towards a strong sense of community, and Swiss WordCamps give local and international friends and colleagues the opportunity to participate, share ideas, get to know each other, and exchange knowledge and ideas about how to improve WordPress and the sites it powers.

To help make WordCamp Bern 2017 a success, we’re looking for sponsors.

Call for Speakers

Am 12. November um 2 Uhr nachts beginnt der 2. weltweite online WordPress Translation Day statt. 24 Stunden lang werden über Crowdcast im Stundentakt live Video Trainings zum Thema WordPress Übersetzung (Internationalisierung/i18n und Lokalisierung/L10n) präsentiert.
