💡 Why We’re Doing This (And Why It Matters)

The WordPress ecosystem has grown so much — but here in the UAE, in-person events and meetups have been rare in recent years.

We believe that needs to change.

WordPress thrives because of its community. Ideas are born when people share stories, challenges, wins, and even failures. But you can’t always do that through screens.

That’s why we’re putting this event together. To reconnect, to collaborate, and to rebuild the kind of local WP community that supports and inspires each other.

Whether you’re running an agency, building plugins, designing themes, or just diving into the ecosystem — this is your space to share, learn, and grow.

Let’s bring WordPress conversations back to the real world — and kick off a new chapter of collaboration in the UAE.

📍 Venue: Where It’s All Happening

We’re gathering at the chic Atelier M lounge area — located right in Dubai Marina.

Expect elegant vibes, good food, and even better conversations. It’s the kind of setting that makes it easy to connect, collaborate, and dream big.

🗓️ When Is It?

Mark your calendars for the 15th of May!

Doors open at 15:00, and we’ll keep going until at least 20:00 — and possibly later if you’re in the mood to stick around and mingle!

🧠 What’s the Agenda?
