WPBakery at WordCamp Asia 2026

WordCamp Asia 2026 takes place 9-11 April 2026 in Mumbai, India and WPBakery will be there. If you’re building, managing or scaling WordPress sites – you should, too. And we should know, as we were there last year as well.

Planning for 3000+ attendees, the organizers expect this to be the biggest WordPress oriented event in the world. India’s WordPress community is one of the largest globally, with roots going back to early meetups in Mumbai in 2012. Hosting a flagship event here is a natural step and, for agencies and businesses operating globally, the scale of the Indian WordPress community alone makes this edition strategically important.

If size alone is not the reason enough to consider coming, here are 5 more facts to help you decide and how to make the most of it.

Networking & community

WordCamps have a reputation for being different from traditional tech conferences. Yes, there are sponsors (with the call to be one still open!). Yes, there are talks and workshops; however, the heart and the core of it all is community. Here you’ll meet product teams (just like ours) behind major plugins and tools; agency founders with interesting and useful stories; freelancers open to networking and collaborating; contributors shaping the tool we all love and use.

The conversations happen in hallways, near sponsor booths, during Contributor Day and at side events. If you’re looking to build long-term professional relationships inside WordPress, this is where they tend to start.

Career & business opportunities

WordPress Asia 2026 is more than just education (although this year it is intentionally shaped around a younger demographic) – it’s a place where you can directly explore partnerships with plugin and hosting companies, discuss interesting integration ideas, identify potential co-marketing opportunities and – like a cherry on top – connect with tools your clients (or yourself) already use.

For us at WPBakery, WordCamps are where meaningful conversations between agencies, developers and freelancers happen. Moreover, it’s where we meet and reconnect with our customers, just like last year, during WordCamp Asia 2025.

Skill development

Although the official schedule is not live yet, by the look of the Speaker’s list and what they’ve shared, the 2026 program already signals a strong practical direction. With sessions covering data, sustainability, SaaS trends and best practices, SEO, API integrations and more, this mix reflects, what we could say, are the real layers of professional WordPress work today.

A balanced look at how WordPress is being built, maintained, monetized and taught in 2026. And a lot of great people to learn from along the way.

Stay updated on trends

If you already didn’t know, WordPress 7.0 is scheduled to be released during WordCamp Asia 2026 – on April 9th during Contributor Day, to be exact. This is important and huge for two reasons. For professionals in the APAC region – who typically follow core releases overnight on Slack – this will be the first time experiencing a major version launch in real time. And for teams whose client work depends on WordPress stability and compatibility, witnessing a major release in the same room as contributors adds a different level of context. Not to mention having all the latest information on site.

On top of that, Matt Mullenweg’s closing keynote is another one you don’t want to miss, as it will be packed with on-point data, predictions and announcements (or two?).

Cultural experience

Mumbai is the city that brings its own texture to this year’s WordCamp Asia. It moves fast, holds contrast comfortably and gathers people from different regions, languages and industries in one place. Sounds like a perfect alignment with what WordPress itself represents, right?

If you’ve attended WordCamps before, you know that the host city quietly shapes the overall experience, with the after-sessions dinner, the walks between venues, the small groups that continue discussions late into the evening. Mumbai has the kind of scale and energy where those moments will be significantly elevated. From what we’ve heard.

For more in-depth information and details about the overall cultural experience while there, the organizers prepared this useful guide we recommend you go through and prepare.

WPBakery at WordCamp Asia 2026

A big part of our team will be in Mumbai – supporting the event and meeting the agencies, developers and freelancers who actively build with WordPress. WordCamps are where we have conversations about use cases, workflows, integrations and what actually happens in production. It’s also where we listen to feedback from our customers and users. If you’re attending and would like to talk, reach out through our socials or email and we’ll set up a time.

Final word

If you’re attending WordCamp Asia 2026, we recommend that you plan your time well, review the sessions once the schedule is live and don’t leave meetings to chance – reach out early. We’ll be there and if there’s something specific you want to discuss, let’s set it up.
