Some of the best Contributor Day experiences start with a simple welcome.
A new contributor sits down at a table. Someone helps them get started. A conversation begins. A contribution gets made.
That someone could be you.
We’re looking for Table Leads for Contributor Day at WordCamp Kathmandu 2026.
Table Leads help contributors find their place in the WordPress project. They answer questions, guide discussions, suggest tasks, and create a welcoming space where everyone feels comfortable contributing.
Whether someone is making their first contribution or returning with years of experience, a great Table Lead can make all the difference.
We’ll have tables for Core, Polyglots, Documentation, Support, Training, Community, Accessibility, Themes, Plugins, and more.
And here’s the good news: you don’t need to be an expert.
If you care about your contribution area, enjoy helping others, and want to support the next generation of contributors, we’d love to hear from you. The organizing team will be there to help you prepare before the event.
Contributor Day takes place on 18 September 2026, one day before WordCamp Kathmandu Conference Day.
It’s a day of learning, collaboration, problem-solving, and giving back to the project we all benefit from. It’s also where many people make their very first contribution to WordPress.
As a Table Lead, you’ll help make that happen.

Who Should Apply?
