WordCamp Douala 2017, is a community-sponsored conference that celebrates everything ‘WordPress’. WordPress – the Free and Open Source Content Management System that powers 27% of the web (and counting), has a vibrant community of millions of users, spread all across the world. WordCamps have been happening all across the world, from Montreal, to Mumbai, and are almost as old young as WordPress itself! WordCamps have today become a unique phenomenon in the technology space, thanks to unique melange of well-informed and influential speakers, dedicated volunteers, diverse set of attendees, and above all – with the able-support of our sponsors.

Organized by the Buea WordPress Meetup Group, the maiden edition of WordCamp Douala also happens to be the first WordCamp in Cameroon and in central Afria. By sponsoring WordCamp Douala, your company/brand will be highlighted in front of a diverse-set of attendees, which includes bloggers, developers, enterprises, entrepreneurs, executives, service providers, and even users who are getting started with the WordPress framework.

The WordPress community is blessed with a host of talented users, and contributors. It will be quite a revelation, to see and hear what everyone has to say!
