Strong talks may include case studies, technical deep dives, business lessons, practical frameworks, workshops, or fresh perspectives on where WordPress is heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while this year has a strong focus on <strong>expertise and experience<\/strong>, we also encourage thoughtful new voices with strong ideas to apply. If you have done meaningful work and have something useful to teach, your perspective belongs in the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordCamp Kathmandu 2026 is more than a stage.
