Why volunteer at WordCamp Slovenia 2026?

Volunteers are the heart of WordCamp. They are the first friendly faces attendees meet, the helping hands behind the scenes, and the people who make sure everything runs seamlessly from start to finish.

By volunteering, you:

  • actively contribute to the WordPress community,
  • meet new people from Slovenia and beyond,
  • gain behind-the-scenes experience in event organisation,
  • and still get plenty of time to enjoy the conference as an attendee.

Roles and responsibilities

Organising a WordCamp involves many different tasks. Volunteer roles may evolve as the event approaches, so let us know your best skills and/or your preferred role when you apply.

How much time does volunteering take?

  • Up to one full day (and night – we have a party) during the conference
  • Plenty of free time to attend talks, workshops, and social events publish it on our official website 

Who can volunteer?

We welcome volunteers who:

  • are part of, or interested in joining, the WordPress community,
  • are kind, respectful, and enjoy helping others,
  • work well in a team,
  • maintain a positive attitude and follow the Code of Conduct,
  • wear their volunteer t-shirt during their assigned shift.

No prior volunteer experience is required. Whether this is your first WordCamp or you’re a returning volunteer, you’ll be supported every step of the way.

What do volunteers get?

  • Sharing with A free WordCamp Slovenia 2026 ticket
  • One official volunteer t-shirts
  • An invitation to the social event and after party
  • New connections and valuable experience
  • The satisfaction of giving back to the community and #WCSLO2026 hashtags in all your publications.
