WordCamp US 2026: When Creativity Meets Code — What Happens Next Will Surprise You
Here are examples in action:
- Code for the People private screening with stickers and swag
- Paint your own Wapuu – tactile, emotional, brilliant
- Booth giveaways that were Arizona-centric: water bottles, fans, sunscreen, along with bags and bandanas designed by local artists
- The WordPress Mercantile featured local businesses built on WordPress
- A focus on play, including a seating area with cornhole, an in-booth air hockey table, and multiple photo ops with delightfully creative backgrounds
- A creator studio staged with couches, plants, perfect lighting, and high end recording equipment designed specifically for generating great video. Free SD cards for those who utilized it
Even the Wi-Fi password was a nod to the convergence of technology and art…IYKYK.
As I climbed into my Waymo and headed to the airport, I reflected on how art connects people. It inspires people. It can also polarize — and that’s not a bad thing.
As businesses and as humans, we don’t have to be everything to everyone. We just have to find our people (like our WordPress community). Be uniquely you.
Find your customers, focus on them, and use technology to help you fuel that connection.
