WordCamp US 2021/2022 Host City Application

If your community is interested in continuing the tradition -- set by San Francisco, Philadelphia, Nashville, and St. Louis -- of hosting a memorable, engaging WordCamp US, fantastic! We can't wait to hear from you.

Hosting a WordCamp US
With a draw of over 1,500 attendees each year and a main purpose of connecting and inspiring the WordPress community, hosting WordCamp US is a big responsibility and time commitment. To best use resources, we expect that the host city will be prepared to host in both 2021 and 2022.
