WordCamp Dhaka 2025 Returns After Six Years: 1,250 Attendees Gear Up for the Biggest WordPress Event in Bangladesh
WordCamp Dhaka 2025 is scheduled for October 18–19, 2025. You can check out all the details of WordCamp Dhaka 2025 on the official website.
With 1,250 attendees confirmed, this year’s event will be the largest WordPress gathering ever held in Bangladesh.
The Comeback We’ve Been Waiting For
I still remember walking into the very first WordCamp Dhaka back in 2019.
Was just starting out in the WordPress industry then- wide-eyed, meeting plugin founders, theme developers, and community builders I’d only known from profile pictures. The energy was unreal. That event changed how I looked at open-source and collaboration.
Fast-forward to today. I’ve spent eight years in this ecosystem, and the feeling is still the same- maybe even stronger. WordCamp Dhaka 2025 isn’t just another tech conference; it’s a reunion, a reminder of how far we’ve come as a community and as a country.
When tickets went live this year, they sold out in just 2-3 minutes. The final batch even oversold by 286 tickets!
Bangladesh’s WordPress scene has exploded since 2019. After working closely with WordCamp Central and payment partners, organizers confirmed that every paid attendee will be welcomed, pushing the official headcount to a record-breaking 1,250.
WordCamp Dhaka 2025 at a Glance
Here’s what you need to know if you’re planning to attend or just following along online.
- WordCamp Dhaka 2025 Date: October 18–19 (Sat–Sun)
- WordCamp Dhaka Location: Senaprangan, R98X+QQQ MP Checkpost, Matikata Rd, Dhaka (find the map)
- Conference Day: October 18 (Saturday)
- Contributor Day: October 19 (Sunday)- separate venue (TBA)
- Tickets: Sold Out (final count 1,250 attendees)
The Senaprangan Convention Hall inside Dhaka Cantonment offers a secure, modern setup- ideal for this scale. If you’re attending, carry valid ID and plan for the entry checkpoints; security here is tight but smooth.
The Contributor Day will follow on Sunday. It’s where WordPress lovers of all levels come together to give back, from translating strings to writing docs, testing themes, or joining the Core team. If you’ve never joined one before, it’s the most rewarding part of a WordCamp.
The Ticket Rush and How the Team Handled It
The ticket story itself became a symbol of how passionate the community has become.
The final batch of WordCamp Dhaka tickets dropped on October 11. In just 3 minutes, everything was gone. Hundreds of people refreshed the page hoping for another chance. Demand spiked so high that 286 extra transactions slipped through before the system closed sales.
Most event teams would panic, but not this one.
Instead of canceling or refunding anyone, the organizers coordinated with WordCamp Central and their payment gateway to confirm each order manually. After days of verification, they announced that no one would be left out.
“We could not pick and choose attendees and refund folks who have been patiently waiting. Now that WordCamp Central has reviewed the records, everyone who paid will be welcomed,” Chaion wrote in the official Facebook update.
The decision wasn’t easy, but it was fair and it reflects exactly why WordPress communities thrive: transparency, collaboration, and trust.
As someone who’s seen community events struggle with logistics before, I was genuinely impressed. This team didn’t just organize a conference; they set an example for how to lead a community.
wpRigel Joins WordCamp Dhaka for the First Time
This year is extra special for us- the wpRigel team is joining WordCamp Dhaka 2025 for the very first time!
It’s exciting to finally meet so many creators, developers, and marketers we’ve been collaborating with online for years.
The timing couldn’t be better. We’ve just launched the Early Bird offer for our first WordPress plugin- Pollify. A powerful yet simple poll creator for Gutenberg. Pollify lets users create and manage interactive polls directly inside the block editor- no shortcodes or complicated setup.
To celebrate both milestones- our first WordCamp appearance and Pollify’s early launch- we’re offering a massive 60% early bird discount.
It’s our way of marking the start of wpRigel’s journey and sharing that moment with the broader WordPress community we’ve grown up in.
If you’re attending the event, come say hi to the team — we’d love to connect, talk plugins, and learn from everyone building amazing things in WordPress.
Why WordCamp Dhaka 2025 Feels Different
Every WordCamp is special, but WordCamp Dhaka 2025 hits differently. After six years without a major WordCamp in Bangladesh, this one feels like a restart button for all of us.
A Bigger, Bolder Stage
Bangladesh is now home to some of the world’s top WordPress companies. They’ve built products used by millions globally, and most of them are showing up this weekend- not just as attendees but as sponsors and contributors.
The sponsor list alone is massive. Under the Lalbagh Legacy (Platinum) tier, you’ll find Woo, Jetpack, Bluehost, Kinsta and others- Dhaka now has a real seat at the global WordPress table.
These brands aren’t just funding banners. They’re backing a vision- helping shape the future of WordPress education, open-source careers, and local innovation.
Fresh Voices, Familiar Faces
The speaker lineup blends both worlds- veterans and first-timers.
Hasin Hayder will lead a keynote on “WordPress Security in Action: Hardening Your Site and Server.”
Panel discussions dive into big-picture topics like:
- DEIB & Community Contribution within WordPress: diversity, inclusion, and belonging in open source.
- The Future of WordPress in Bangladesh & Beyond
As someone who’s watched WordPress evolve since 2015, I can say these sessions are exactly what the community needs right now. It’s not just about coding or marketing; it’s about understanding the culture that keeps this ecosystem alive.
A Reminder to Stay Kind and Curious
With 1,250 attendees and a sold-out venue, chaos is inevitable, but the Dhaka team has been clear about one thing: stay respectful.
“We want to request everyone to be polite towards each other and respect the opinion of others. We urge everyone to exercise humility and resilience.”
That message captures the soul of WordCamp Dhaka 2025. Yes, it’s a massive tech event, but it’s also a family reunion for everyone who’s ever written a line of code, built a plugin, or designed a WordPress site in Bangladesh.
WordCamp Dhaka 2025: What to Expect on Event Days, Contributor Sessions, and Beyond
The first half of this story covered the comeback of WordCamp Dhaka 2025, the ticket rush, and the community spirit behind it all.
Now let’s get practical. The main event is almost here, and it’s time to explore what attendees can expect over the two incredible days ahead.
Day 1: Conference Day — Talks, Panels, and Hallway Magic
The Conference Day kicks off on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at Senaprangan, Dhaka Cantonment. With 1,250 attendees confirmed, the venue will be vibrant and full of energy.
The schedule is loaded with lightning talks, long talks, panels, and breakout sessions across themes like SEO, AI, product management, growth, tech scalability, and community building.
The Keynote
This year’s keynote opens the day with a deep dive into security and resilience in WordPress infrastructure.
It will cover real-world challenges — how plugin vulnerabilities, server configurations, and emerging threats intersect. Attendees will walk away with actionable tactics for hardening both their sites and underlying servers.
Lightning Talks (Round 1)
In the first block, expect fast-paced, idea-packed lightning talks that span a range of topics: AI, SEO (especially cutting-edge LLM SEO), on-boarding & product philosophy, marketing strategies, design thinking, and balancing work/life in tech.
These talks are designed to spark curiosity and offer high-impact insights in short bursts.
Long Talks (Round 2)
Later in the day, the pace slows a bit to allow deeper, more narrative-driven long talks.
The content will merge technical depth with real experience- emphasizing growth stories, content strategy, scaling challenges, and bridging product stories with community impact.
These longer sessions will give you time to absorb lessons, ask questions, and perhaps even rethink your approach.
The Panel Discussions
Two major panel talks are set to bring perspective and inspiration:
- DEIB & Community Contribution within WordPress — A crucial discussion about diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging in open source. Expect stories from contributors who broke barriers to help others join the WordPress journey.
- The Future of WordPress in Bangladesh & Beyond — This one’s close to home. The panel includes industry pioneers like Tareq Hasan, Shahjahan Jewel, and Md. Jakir Hasan, discussing how Bangladesh’s growing developer community is shaping the global WordPress economy.
These sessions are not just for listening — they’re meant to spark conversations. WordCamps are famous for what happens outside the halls: hallway chats, coffee-table introductions, and quick demos that turn into future collaborations.
If you’re attending, don’t just stick to your seat. Walk around. Say hello. That’s how you build your WordPress story.
Day 2: Contributor Day- Giving Back to WordPress and Community
The second day, Sunday, October 19, is all about contribution.
For many attendees, this will be their first Contributor Day, and trust me- it’s where you truly feel part of something bigger.
What Happens on Contributor Day
Contributor Day is when you sit with teams working directly on different parts of WordPress- from the core code to translations and documentation. You don’t need to be a developer; there’s a team for everyone.
Here are some of the main Contributor Teams planned for WordCamp Dhaka 2025:
- Core – Dive into WordPress’s actual codebase.
- Polyglots – Help translate WordPress into Bengali and other languages.
- Docs – Improve existing documentation and guides.
- Themes & Design – Contribute UI/UX insights or new theme patterns.
- Training – Create learning materials for WordPress.org.
- Support – Help users in the official WordPress forums.
- Accessibility – Review sites and themes for accessibility improvements.
- CLI, Photos, Hosting, and Test – For advanced users and testers.
If you’ve never contributed before, don’t worry- there are mentors and table leads ready to walk you through everything.
It’s not about how much code you write or how many posts you translate- it’s about joining a global mission that runs on voluntary effort and collaboration.
I joined my first Contributor Day at WordCamp Asia, and it completely changed my relationship with WordPress. I expect Dhaka 2025 to deliver that same spark for hundreds of first-timers.
Sponsors, Stalls, and Local Powerhouses
One of my favorite parts of any WordCamp is exploring the sponsor booths. It’s like a mini WordPress marketplace — full of teams showing their products, giving swag, and talking about what’s next.
This year, WordCamp Dhaka has an impressive lineup of sponsors grouped under different tiers.
Lalbagh Legacy (Platinum Sponsors)
Names like Woo, Jetpack, Bluehost, Kinsta, weDevs, Droip, and FluentCart headline the list. These are companies that actively shape the global WordPress landscape and now they’re backing the local community too.
Ahsan Elite (Gold Sponsors)
Brands like Tutor LMS, Business Globalizer, and RadiusTheme join this tier, showcasing the country’s booming EdTech and plugin development talent.
Sonargaon Circle (Silver Sponsors) & Jamdani Essence (Bronze Sponsors)
These include local innovators like WPPOOL, WPBakery, Coders Time, and Plugincy– proving that WordPress growth in Bangladesh isn’t limited to a few big names anymore.
Each sponsor booth is more than just a marketing spot. Many have on-site teams offering live demos, career advice, and collaboration opportunities. If you’re looking for partnerships or inspiration, block time to explore them.
Travel, Entry, and Local Tips
Getting to the Venue
The WordCamp Dhaka location: Senaprangan, inside Dhaka Cantonment is easily accessible by private car, Uber, or Pathao. However, since it’s a restricted area, attendees should arrive early to allow for ID checks and security protocols.
Bring your ticket confirmation email (from WordCamp Central) and a valid photo ID. Volunteers and organizers will be there in yellow and red shirts respectively to guide you.
Food, Wi-Fi, and Facilities
Lunch, snacks, and coffee will be provided on-site for attendees. The organizers have confirmed a solid internet setup- so expect stable Wi-Fi for live tweeting, streaming, or posting those all-important selfies with your favorite plugin founders.
Weather & Dress Code
October in Dhaka is usually warm and humid. Lightweight cotton or linen clothing is your best friend and don’t forget to carry a refillable water bottle and your business cards (yes, they still work magic at WordCamps).
What Makes WordCamp Dhaka 2025 Truly Special
I’ve attended several WordCamps across Asia, but this one feels personal. Maybe because I was there in 2019 when it all started, or maybe because I’ve seen how far our local ecosystem has come.
This isn’t just an event- it’s a milestone.
It’s where WordPress in Bangladesh officially steps onto the global stage, not just as users but as contributors, product makers, and community builders.
Every booth, every talk, and every handshake inside Senaprangan will tell the same story that open source works when people care enough to give back.
And if the enthusiasm around WordCamp Dhaka 2025 tickets and the record-breaking attendance is any sign, the future of WordPress in this country looks incredibly bright.
Wrapping Up on WordCamp Dhaka 2025
So here we are- just days away from WordCamp Dhaka 2025.
Thousands of hours of volunteer work, hundreds of conversations, and months of planning all come down to this weekend.
If you’ve been part of the WordPress world for years, this is your moment to reconnect.
If you’re new, this is your chance to experience what community truly means.
As someone who’s seen the ecosystem grow for nearly a decade, I can say this confidently:
WordPress in Bangladesh has never been stronger and WordCamp Dhaka 2025 is living proof of it.
See you at Senaprangan next week on October 18–19, 2025. Let’s make it unforgettable.
