A look back at WordCamp Kathmandu 2019

 

WordCamp Kathmandu 2019 has finally concluded, and boy was it fun. With so many WordPress Enthusiasts at one place, we hope that you were able to make the most out of it. The two day event saw around 350 people come to the event on the first day and 100+ on the second day. So on the second day, we had over a 100 people contributing to WordPress. How cool is that?

 

We would like to take time to thank all the attendees that came in for the event. It is you who helped us make the event that it was. Also, the speakers who were kind enough to take the stage and share what they know. It takes a lot of courage and time to go up on the stage and deliver a sesssion. Apparently, people prefer small electric shock over public speaking  as one of our speaker said.  We also, can’t thank enough our sponsors who were kind enough to not only sponsor the event, but also give out swags. Last but none the least, our volunteers and organizers who worked hard to make sure that everything went smooth on the event day.

Thank you each and everyone of you. We couldn’t have done this without you. We will announce our next event soon as well and hope for similar response.

Until then, enjoy the pictures from the event and enjoy what you are doing.

Notice Regarding PAN/VAT Bills

In the past few weeks, we have been getting requests for PAN bill for the purchase of WordCamp Kathmandu tickets.
We regret to inform you that we cannot provide you the PAN bills. WordCamps are casual community events. It is run by local volunteers and the ticket prices you pay are not for generating profits. Instead, the surplus amounts are used for the next WordCamp, Meet ups and WordPress Events in the country. That means, the volunteers and the organizers don’t receive any remuneration.
WordCamps are not run by a private company and therefore the PAN is not registered for WordCamp Kathmandu.
We thank you for your cooperation towards WordCamp Kathmandu 2018.

T-shirt size reference:

 

NOTE: Tickets are non refundable and non transferable.

What is Happiness Bar?

Happiness Bar is where you will find happiness, … but…. how?? Many WordCamp regulars find they spend as much time in the Happiness Bar as they spend listening to presentations. And the reason is simple, the Happiness Bar is a place to interact in an environment free from internet trolls.

Many speakers will head for the happiness bar after their presentation, so if you want to further explore one of their ideas or have really specific questions, sit down with them and ask.

Whether you have a question you need answered, code that needs to be reviewed or just want to get some work done, this is the place to be. Come and ask questions, answer questions and meet new friends. If it’s a WordPress question, you can ask it at the Happiness Bar!

A Note: Not all problems can be solved quickly and easily. Although the Happiness Bar is a place to get you going in the right direction, you might need to continue the conversation after WordCamp. And, not to disappoint you, but that might cost money. Volunteers will do their best to help you as much as possible during the weekend, but sometimes, you just need a professional.
