Currently, about 30% of websites in the world have been constructed by WordPress. Then, WordPress has beyond 60% share among CMS (Content Management System). Especially, WordPress is very famous in Japan and it is an indispensable system on a business.

2. Make fellows of WordPress community

If you have ever joined WordCamp, I believe that you felt bustle of WordPress community.

Why don’t make fellows by joining a WordPress community?

One of biggest WordPress amenities is an activity of active communities. Not only a large-scale event (WordCamp) but also a small regional workshop (WordBench) have been being held at a various region in Japan and they have been serving as a place to share the information and to meet up a human exchange.

WordCamp organizers and staffs are all volunteers!
A lot of them had ever been participants, but there are so many cases to become an organizer by being inspired by WordPress.

  • I want to expand my vision.
  • I want to have a opportunity of new encounters and to make fellows.
  • I want to do a volunteer activity.
  • I want to communicate with WordPress fellows.

Please know our activities by participating WordCamp Osaka 2018!
