What is WordFest Live?

WordFest Live is a celebration of YOU, the WordPress community, with talks about WordPress, remote working, and mental health, too.

We’re also excited to add virtual stages, tents and groups for networking and fun conversation.

As well as some special “extras” thrown in for a truly festive time!

We love them.

What the community are saying:

WordFest Live represents the best of the WordPress Community and giving back - 48 speakers from around the globe joining attendees and volunteers all in together supporting an important cause. Definitely an event to be proud of!

Not having any WordPress events meant that I couldn't see so many friends and colleagues that I was used to seeing. WordFest Live was such a fun day, I did chair yoga, hopped in many of the sponsor tents and interacted in the chat. I learned new things and got to check on all my friends, it was such a great day!

I am enamoured by the support and love of this WordPress community called Big Orange Heart. The WordFest Live event was a roller coaster of amazing proportions. We got practical information and great tips to take our skills to the next level in one QUICK 24 hour flash! My head is spinning from the amazing presentations. I am smarter now by losing sleep!

WordFest Live was a great way to stay connected with the WordPress Community and get inspired with great topics. The speakers really now their stuff and I learned a lot. Thanks for the great 24 hours! I really hope it was not the last WordFest Live.

Great event, and just what was needed to kick off 2021. I'm looking forward to whatever comes next!

Kudos to each and every team member of WordFest Live 2021 for organizing this event and putting lots of effort to make this event a grand success. It was really an amazing experience for being speaker at this event and I am so grateful for all the organizing team members for giving this opportunity. Thank you so much!

WordFest Live 2021 made me feel like I was at a live WordCamp event (at least as close to it being virtual!). It was the first online event I've attended where I felt deeply connected to the entire community. I felt welcomed into new space and conversations with open arms and encouraged to share my voice. The speakers had a wealth of information to share and the sponsors, emcees, and volunteers were all lively, engaging, and fun to be with. I loved WordFest Live 2021!

Really awesome event for everybody who loves WordPress! Engaged and professional speakers with very interesting topics. Will participate again, no doubt!

Amazing teamwork and coordination to run such an ambitious festival of all things WordPress. As a speaker, I felt very welcomed and supported throughout the whole event. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

WordFest Live was a bright spot of community in the midst of such a dark and lonely time.

I loved the format of online WordFest Live: 24 hours, different time-zones, fantastic speaker selection, very well organized. The sponsor tents/tables were really good.

The organisers of WordFest Live deserve a medal for keeping alive the true ethos of WordPress community.

What a great event to bring together the WordPress community with great talks, hosts and sponsors. Would 100% do this again!

Frequently Asked Questions

When does WordFest Live run?

July 23, 2021. But if you want to get technical about it; we start July 22, 2021, from 23:00 UTC. You see, it depends where you are in the world. WordFest Live is a 24-hour event, which will move between timezones.

Of course, the event is virtual, so you can join us at any time and in any location. How fun is that!

Where will WordFest Live take place?

All over the world, all at the same time. WordFest is omnipresent! This just gets better.

So to join the festival, you’ll need to register, we’ll then send you a magical link that will let you jump on board our global festival via the interwebs.

On a slightly more practical note; WordFest is an online festival and will take place right here, at WordFest.Live!

How much does it cost to attend?

About 4-24 hours of your life. You won’t have to hand over any of your hard-earned cash though. Tickets are free!

There is an optional $10 donation that can be made when registering. We’d be over the moon if you selected this option, it will help us continue to provide free well-being and mental health support in remote work communities. But it isn't necessary to do so to claim your ticket.

Do you offer refunds?

Nope, because there’s nothing to refund. Tickets are 100% free.

An optional donation can be made to Big Orange Heart when you select your ticket but the tickets themselves are free, zero, nothing, not-a-one! Cha-ching!

Can anyone apply to speak?

Yes, 100% without a doubt, please do!

If you have something to share with the community, we want to know about it. You can apply right here on the website. Although we won't be able to accept all applications (due to a limited number of sessions) we want to hear your ideas! You can apply under the Open Calls tab at the top of this page.

We want to ensure there is representation from each of the continents we’ll be delivering WordFest from, so please hit that speaker registration as soon as it's live.

Can my company sponsor this event?

You know how this goes… ~~hand your marketing budget, we’ll throw up a logo.~~

No, no, no, no. We can not stand this model. We recognise times are different and so we’ve developed a truly social experience for our attendees. We want to see how we can partner with you to keep building on this best experience, for all involved.

If you want to join us as a partner of WordFest, we’re very open to ideas and discussions. We have to ensure this is mutually beneficial for you, the attendees and us the charity.

Why WordFest and not a WordCamp?

We love WordCamp! We’re a team of WordCamp organisers. We wholeheartedly support and encourage WordCamp. But we’re delivering this event, in part, to raise awareness as well as funds for Big Orange Heart. BOH is a registered charity with a mission to support and promote positive well-being and mental health within remote working communities.

WordCamps do not permit fundraising for specific charitable organisations and as such we are delivering this event independently.

How can I raise funds to support mental health for remote workers as part of WordFest Live?

This WordFest Live, we’re inviting attendees to join us for a special challenge #24kStepstoMentalHealth where you can help raise funds for mental health by pledging to take 24,000 steps (or an equivalent activity). Find out all about it here.

What are donations used for?

100% of your donations will go directly to Big Orange Heart. This will enable the continued growth of free well-being and mental health support for the remote working community. If you’re interested to know more about how funds are used, please see https://big.ht/open.
