Local WordCamps Held in Nepal - 2019

Before this year, 2019, comes to an end, let us present to you the summary of all local WordCamps held in Nepal in 2019.

Who does not love WordCamps, right? Every WordPresser who has a genuine love for this platform loves attending WordCamps and networking in the community. In the context of Nepal, since its inception, our community has only grown with better stability and tenacity. From the community of only a few members, today, WordPress Nepal has various local communities all around the country. It is a proud and cheerful thing for all Nepali WordPressers! Similar to last year, communities from different cities hosted their own city-based WordCamp welcoming everyone from in and across the nation. We also witnessed new cities coming forward with their own local WordCamps. We feel euphoric to be growing and learning every day. Today, we are going to list out the local WordCamps held in Nepal this year.

WordCamps are amazing. We can take it as WordPress conferences that include many presentations from speakers all around the globe, community networking, uncountable career opportunities, and more. It is basically everything that a newbie WordPresser need in order to dive into the community and know more about this wonderful platform. Nowadays, WordCamps are not even a country’s affair, even local communities from a certain country can organize a local WordCamp. WordCamp Central encourages smaller WordPress communities to organize WordCamps in their own cities and further extend the reach of WordPress.

This year, we witnessed three different local WordCamps held in Nepal – WordCamp Kathmandu 2019, WordCamp Pokhara 2019, and WordCamp Bharatpur 2019. These WordCamps were organized in their respective cities and were a huge success. WordCamp Bharatpur 2019 was the first of its kind and we want to congratulate the community for taking the initiative. We hope to see the same passion and love for this phenomenal WordPress platform in the coming days as well.

With that being said, let us guide you through all the local WordCamps held in Nepal and what they were all about.

Conclusion

The whole point of organizing WordCamps is to learn, engage with others, and be a part of the wonderful WordPress community. And organizing local WordCamps in smaller cities sure does help in reaching more people and grow the audience in the amazing WordPress platform. Likewise, in the context of Nepal, these local WordCamps have helped us grow the whole Nepali WordPress community and learn more. It was impressive to see the audience that showed up in these three local WordCamps held in Nepal in the year 2019.

We hope to see the same enthusiasm and support for WordPress by our local WordPress communities in the coming years as well.
