About WordCamp Mukono

Sustainable Growth — Building a Lasting WordPress Future

WordCamp Mukono is a WordPress conference focused on building skills, relationships, and systems that last. We bring together people who care about growing sustainably. Bringing renown WordPress experts and Newbies all together. This is not Just a conference, this is a Revolution!

More Than a Conference—A Catalyst for the Open Web

WordCamp Mukono is a vibrant, community-led gathering for everyone who touches the web—from students and bloggers to seasoned developers and agency owners. It is more than just a conference; it is a collaborative space where we discuss the future of the web, share transformative ideas, and build the relationships that power our local digital economy.

But… what is WordPress?

WordPress is the engine behind the modern internet. As the world’s largest Content Management System(CMS), it powers over 43% of all websites—from local Ugandan startups to global icons like NASA, Mercedes-Benz, and Beyoncé. And it is not even limited from the American White House

Because WordPress is open-source and free, it democratizes publishing, giving everyone in Mukono and the world the power to own their digital presence and compete on a global stage.

Our Journey

Building on the momentum of our previous gatherings, WordCamp Mukono 2026 represents a milestone in our evolution. We are moving from a foundation built by a few pioneers to a sustainable, community-wide movement. We invite you to join us as we write the next chapter of WordPress innovation right here in the heart of Mukono.

The Experience: What to expect

WordCamp Mukono is designed to be a catalyst for your growth. Over the course of the event, you will experience:

  • Diverse Learning Tracks: Our schedule features a broad selection of sessions aimed at all levels. Whether you are interested in AI-driven development, the business of freelancing, or mastering the Block Editor, there is a track designed for you.
  • Outcome-Led Workshops: Move beyond theory with hands-on sessions where you will build, fix, and optimize alongside experts.
  • The Sponsor Hub: Meet the innovators behind the tools you use every day. Engage with local and international sponsors, discover new products, and find the resources to scale your projects.
  • Productive Collisions: The magic of WordCamp happens in the hallways. Network with developers you’ve followed online, chat with potential collaborators, and meet the mentors who can help take your career to the next level.

An Event for Every Level

We believe that the open web should be accessible to all. Our sessions are carefully curated to ensure they cater to every ability—from those who just installed WordPress this morning to those who have been contributing to Core for a decade.

Remember: Every expert in the room started their journey as a beginner.

Build the Future: Contributor Day

Sustainability is at the heart of WordCamp Mukono 2026. In the Contributor Session, we move from being users of the software to being its creators.

This special event brings together new and experienced members to give back to the WordPress project. Whether you are a writer, a designer, a coder, or a polyglot, your skills are needed. It’s the ultimate way to learn how the web is made and to ensure its future remains in the hands of the community.
