The WP World

The WP World is a community-driven website dedicated to helping people in the WordPress ecosystem connect, discover, and engage beyond just code. Created by Marcus Burnette, it’s a central hub that highlights the people, events, and stories behind WordPress—whether you’re attending a WordCamp, organizing a meetup, speaking on stage, contributing to a release, or just love being part of the community.

Here’s what The WP World offers:

• Profiles of community members (called “Pressers”), complete with contribution history
• Interactive maps of upcoming events, past WordCamps, and who’s going where
• Achievements and gamification to make participating fun and rewarding
• Event recaps, speaker video archives, and a toolkit for first-time WordCamp attendees
• Sponsorships and shoutouts to help support the community and highlight cool companies
• A weekly newsletter that skips the WordPress news and focuses on the people and culture of the ecosystem

It’s not about plugins or tutorials—it’s about the people who make WordPress what it is. The WP World aims to make those people easier to find, celebrate, and connect with.
