Introduction
WordCamp Delhi 2026 brings the WordPress community of Delhi NCR together for two days of learning, contributing and meeting the people behind the websites. The camp runs on 12 and 13 December 2026 at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre on Janpath, in the heart of New Delhi. It is a community organised event, run by volunteers, and it welcomes everyone from first time site owners to agency founders and core contributors.
WordCamps are informal by design. There is no corporate stage and no sales pitch track. The Delhi camp's own description puts it plainly: no gatekeeping, no corporate stage, just an open community building the web together. The tagline for this edition is "Dil se Dilli. Code se community."
The 2026 edition follows the 2024 camp, and the organisers expect more than 500 attendees, with over 20 speakers and more than 20 sponsors. Day one is Contributor Day, devoted to giving back to the WordPress project. Day two is the main conference day, with talks and a panel on how AI is changing the value of WordPress work.
Event Overview
WordCamp Delhi 2026 runs across two days at the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre (DAIC), 15 Janpath Road, Windsor Place, New Delhi. Doors open at 8:00 AM on Saturday 12 December. The first day centres on contribution: after the opening keynote, attendees join contributor teams and work on the WordPress project itself, with sessions in the conference halls through the morning and afternoon. The second day follows a traditional conference format, with talks in the BHIM Auditorium and a closing panel.
Tickets cost 949 INR for a regular pass, with a 5,999 INR Pro Ticket for microsponsors who want to support the camp. Each ticket admits one person, and student ticket holders must carry a valid student ID at check in.
What to Expect
Day one opens at 9:00 AM with the keynote "The State of the WordPress Community". Contribution work begins at 9:30 AM in the conference halls and continues after lunch from 2:00 PM. At WordCamps, Contributor Day is the part of the event where attendees work on the WordPress project itself, across teams such as testing, documentation, translation, design and code. No prior contribution experience is needed to take part.
Day two has three published sessions. "Sustainable WordPress Business" opens the day at 9:20 AM in the BHIM Auditorium. "Citation Engineering" follows at 2:00 PM in the same hall. The day closes with a panel at 4:00 PM, "The Value Shift in the AI Era", also in the BHIM Auditorium. The full schedule is still being published, so more sessions may be added before the event.
The camp also runs a call for Wapuu, the WordCamp mascot, inviting the community to give the mascot a Delhi makeover.
Who Should Attend
WordCamp Delhi is for anyone who works with WordPress: developers, designers, content creators, founders, freelancers, agency teams, bloggers and first timers. The organisers describe the camp as a place for people who build, design, write, create and grow with WordPress, from a first website to a next big idea. Students and newcomers are welcome, and Contributor Day is designed so that people with no prior open source experience can take part.

Venue and Location

Why This Event Matters
WordPress powers a large share of the web, and in India it powers a large share of freelance and agency work too. WordCamps are where that community meets in person: the freelancer who builds client sites, the plugin developer, the content creator and the student learning the platform all end up in the same hall. Delhi's camp matters because the capital's WordPress community is one of the largest in the country, and a two day camp at 949 INR is one of the most affordable ways to learn from practitioners and to start contributing to open source.
The 2026 programme also reflects the question every WordPress professional is asking: what happens to the value of web work when AI can generate a site in minutes? A panel devoted to the value shift in the AI era, alongside a session on building a sustainable business, suggests the camp is taking that question seriously rather than treating AI as a side topic.
