General
This is the 3rd time we’ve run WordCamp Singapore in recent years. We’ve got a great bunch of speakers, not all from WordPress related business. There are people speaking from big enterprises such as Google, WordPress big names such as WPEngine & SiteGround and local & international WordPress businesses alike.
There are 3 events namely
- Conference Day (16th August)
- Afterparty (16th August – Evening)
- Contributor & Workshop Day (17th August)
All venue information can be found by reading the Venue page
Conference Day
Registration and doors open for attendees at 8:30 am at level 21. A light breakfast and coffee are provided so feel free to drop by early to talk to everyone! Opening remarks kick off promptly at 9:15 am. Talks will begin at 9:40 am sharp!
Take Note: When you arrive, please look for our WordCamp sign to get your building pass. You must bring a photo ID (identity card or passport) to get past building security.
Please look out for our schedule boards that will be inside each of the track rooms, and can also be accessed on this website.
We will have a break for lunch at 12:00 pm afternoon tea at 3:00 pm, there will be two food stations serving some yummy grub and plenty of places to chat with fellow attendees, sponsors and speakers.
If you have any questions throughout the day, then please find an organiser of a volunteer (we will be wearing different coloured t-shirts) and we will do our best to help you out!
WiFi
There is a Microsoft Guest Network that requires no password.
Getting to Microsoft
Venue: Level 21, 1 Marina Boulevard, NTUC Centre, 018989
MRT: Get off at Raffles Place MRT (Green & Red Line) and use our handy guide to navigate the underpass.
Taxi: Just use Grab, take note that the early morning is peak hours so grab your ride early.
Car: If you’re driving, take note that NTUC Centre’s parking charges are $2.20 per hour. If you’re coming via Fullerton / Collyer Quay, you only have one chance to turn into the building which can be easily missed. The next U-Turn is pretty far away and requires you to make 2 U-Turns to get back on track. Consider parking at nearby buildings such as The Sail which offers similar parking charges if you miss the turn-in.
If you are planning on getting to the venue via other landmarks or if you’re coming from overseas, we have a guide here which outlines the best ways to get around, otherwise, you can find map and location data on our venues page.

Contributors Day
Contributor Days are held in many WordCamps across the world but this is the second time we’re doing it in Singapore and we’ve added 7 fantastic workshops as well as 3 contributor sessions.
This is a day for people to just bring their laptops, sit down and contribute back to the WordPress project or learn more through one of our wonderful Workshops. No experience is needed.
Registration and doors open for attendees a little later at 9:30 am at General Assembly, followed by a briefing at 10:00 am before we break into separate rooms. We have two classrooms for our contributor day but we have a limited capacity in each room.
Please bring your lanyard from the Conference Day to make registration much easier. For those not able to attend on Friday but are coming only on Saturday, please let us know in advance so we can bring your swag bag with us.
The schedule will be outside of the classrooms, and can also be accessed on this website.
A light lunch and drinks will be provided at 12:00 pm.
