Welcome to the discussion forum for one of WPapac's most important advocacy initiatives! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Better Local Representation at WordCamp Asia is all about making sure Asia Pacific voices are front and centre at the region's biggest WordPress event. Here's what you need to know:

๐ŸŽฏ Goal: Ensure at least 60% of WordCamp Asia speakers come from the Asia Pacific region

๐Ÿ“‰ The problem: In 2025, only 38% of speakers were local โ€” well below the organizers' own target

๐Ÿ“ˆ Progress: By 2026, that number jumped to 75.4% โ€” great momentum!

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Timeline: This initiative runs through April 2027

How you can help:

  • Reach out to WordCamp organizers and push for more local speakers
  • Apply to speak at a WordCamp Asia event
  • Help spread the word
