We are proud to announce that we have been asked to be a media partner for a second year in a row to not only the CloudFest Hackathon, but the entire event as well.

Last year was my first experience with CloudFest and I will admit it was fantastic. If you want to get business done, meet cloud vendors from around the world, and discover new partnerships and friends, this one is for you. It’s networking on steroids.

Since 2005, Automattic has built tools for the open web including WordPress.com, WooCommerce, and Jetpack that are used by millions of people to create, sell, and publish online. They believe in ownership, flexibility, and open source and we’re grateful for their support. Learn more at automattic.com.

WP Day and WP Zone

But it doesn’t end there. Over 8,700 attendees, 250+ speakers. From the first day when the focus is on open source, you will find the WP Day. And during the event there there will be the WP Zone.

There are literally thousands of internet industry leaders and yes, you will be in a park, so how about a roller coaster ride.

I cannot cover it all so please check out CloudFest which will be held in Europa-Park, Germany, March 17-20, 2025 and the Hackathon will be the 15th – 17th.

You can get your ticket here and if you are attending, let me know in the comments and we’ll make sure to connect up.

Watch as we post more about CloudFest here on the blog and who knows who we will be bringing to our podcast.
