Stop by, say hi!

This year’s WCEU venue is the Lingotto Conference and Exhibition Center in Torino, Italy. Check out the WCEU website for more information about getting to the venue, accessibility accommodations, childcare during the event, and more. 

You can also find a full schedule and program outlining this year’s sessions and speakers. 

As in years past, the WCEU 2024 agenda is filled with insightful sessions covering new additions to WordPress, including the Interactivity API and Twenty Twenty-Four theme. There will also be deeper dives on building with blocks and locally pressing issues such as the European Accessibility Act.

Along with the rest of this year’s sponsors, WP Engine will have a booth where we’ll be passing out stickers and swag, so make sure you stop by and say hi! 

Front and back of the navy blue t-shirts WP Engine will give away at our booth at WCEU. Front right breast of the shirt reads "We Create." The back of the shirt reads "Power the freedom to create" above the WP Engine logo

Book time with an expert

This year, we’ll also be offering 10-minute bookable sessions, during which, WP Engine experts will answer burning questions about the performance of your WordPress site(s)! Session topics include:

  • 10 Points in 10 Minutes: Page speed has been critical to digital success as long as the internet has existed. There are a million ways to squeeze performance gains out of WordPress sites, but so much is subjective to the site itself. You’ll leave this session with a quick list of steps you can take to improve your site’s performance.
  • More Shop, Less Drop: Nothing is worse than customers dropping out of your online store because of performance and user experience issues. In just 10 minutes with our eCommerce experts, we’ll review your site and give you actionable ideas you can implement to grow your business.
  • The Auto-Pilot Agency: With 14 years of history alongside thousands of WordPress-focused agencies, our experts have learned a thing or two! One of the most exciting trends in recent years is the improvement in how agencies establish recurring revenue streams to stabilize their businesses instead of experiencing the all-too-common cycle of feast and famine. With our 10 minutes, we’ll chat about your agency and how you can unlock the next level of growth.
  • Headless WordPress Without the Headache: Did you know you don’t need to burn bridges to build with headless WordPress? Existing traditional WordPress websites are opening up their backend capabilities through APIs and the implementation of engaging multi-channel headless experiences. Book a 10-minute chat and see what WP Engine can offer to help make headless WordPress easier for you.

Stop by our booth to grab a t-shirt, snag some stickers, and book a session to discuss your site performance!

Schedule of events

As always, WCEU kicks off with a Contributor Day. Participants will use this time to give back to the WordPress open-source project through a host of both technical and non-technical tasks, from improving and translating documentation to testing and reporting on bugs in WordPress core and beyond.

Opening remarks on June 14 will begin promptly at 9 a.m. local time, after which, attendees will break out into one of three talk tracks. Tons of informative, interactive sessions await, so make sure and register in advance for any specialized Workshops that catch your eye. 

WP Engine will be hosting a networking event on the evening of June 14 at Edit Porto Urbano from 7 to 9 p.m. Just bring your WCEU entry badge to enjoy this night of live music, drinks, small bites, and networking! 

After the conference concludes on June 15, you can head to the official WCEU after-party in Hall 1 of the Lingotto Conference and Exhibition Center starting at 8:30 p.m.
