In this episode of Cache Up, host Michelle Frechette chats with Clem Omotoso and Mary Baum about WordCamp Canada 2025. Clem, a newcomer to WordPress, shares his journey from student to event volunteer, while Mary, an experienced organizer, discusses the event’s programming, community spirit, and accessibility. The conversation highlights the excitement around meeting fellow WordPress enthusiasts, the value of informal networking, and the unique features of the Ottawa venue. Listeners are encouraged to attend, volunteer, or sponsor, making WordCamp Canada 2025 a welcoming and memorable experience for all.

Top Takeaways:

  • WordCamp Canada Fosters Community and Welcomes Newcomers: Clem Omotosho’s journey from student to WordCamp Canada volunteer highlights how welcoming and accessible the WordPress community is. With encouragement from experienced community members like Michelle and Mary, newcomers are not only embraced but quickly integrated into organizing teams and events. The spirit of connection, support, and shared learning was a central theme throughout the conversation.
  • Hosting WordCamp on a College Campus Enhances Accessibility and Atmosphere: Returning to Carleton University in Ottawa, WordCamp Canada 2025 will benefit from a venue that naturally supports learning, accessibility, and social interaction. College campuses offer built-in amenities like classrooms, accessible pathways, and communal spaces, making them ideal for events focused on knowledge-sharing and community building.
  • A Dual-Track Program Highlights WordPress’s Future and Foundations: The 2025 event will feature two main speaker tracks: one focused on practical sessions for users, developers, and business owners, and another forward-looking track exploring topics like AI, the fediverse, and the future of the open web. With keynote speakers like Dave Winer and Evan (surname TBD), the program aims to engage both seasoned professionals and curious newcomers alike.
