Tickets Info
What is included with my ticket?
Your ticket grants you full access to both days of presentations, panels, and workshops across all tracks. It also covers lunch, light refreshments throughout the day, official WordCamp Nairobi swag, access to sponsor giveaways, and an invite to the community after-party.
Can I get a refund or transfer my ticket to someone else?
Tickets are non-refundable, as all funds directly support venue rentals, catering, and materials. However, you can easily transfer your ticket to a friend or colleague. Simply contact the organizing team with the new attendee’s details before the cut-off date.
Do I need to print my ticket?
No. Save the paper. Just show the QR code on your phone or provide your name and email address at the registration desk when you arrive.
Sessions & Experience
Will there be high-speed Wi-Fi and power outlets?
Yes. Wi-Fi is available across all main session halls and community areas. Power strips are positioned throughout workshop and presentation rooms, but we still recommend arriving with your laptops and mobile devices fully charged.
What should I bring with me?
Bring a notebook or laptop for taking notes, business cards or your digital profile for networking, a reusable water bottle, and a light jacket or sweater in case the halls get chilly. If you plan to attend technical hands-on workshops, having a local development environment installed on your machine is recommended.
Are sessions recorded?
Yes. Most main track sessions are filmed and will be uploaded to WordPress.tv after the event. Slide decks will also be shared on the official website once speakers make them available.
