We are a small country (12 times smaller than Metropolitan France or Spain for example) so the number of events is very good! We organised one WordCamp per year since 2014! (except during the 2 years of the pandemic).
Our WordCamps are always organised and attended by people from the whole country and are in fact always WordCamp Switzerland, despite the city name from 2016 to 2022!
We thrive working all together, across the linguistic regions and all together as a vibrant community. We are also very well supported by local sponsors, such as agencies, hosting companies and other WordPress related companies.
You can see a list of meetup groups on the dedicated page.

I fell in love with the Swiss WordPress community in 2014 when they put up one of the most enjoyable events I attended; 2023 was no different. The Swiss community will put together a great WordCamp Europe!
