WordCamp Tokyo 2016 will be held on 17-18 September, 2016.<\/strong> It will be the 9th WordCamp to take place in the Tokyo area (eight in Tokyo, once in Yokohama). As usual, we are planning to host sessions ranging from user to technical, and from beginners to advanced. Also, building on last year\u2019s first-ever English session series<\/a>, this year, we are going to have a whole track of English talks with simultaneous interpretation.<\/p>\n

We are now accepting submissions for the speakers, both for English and Japanese tracks. Please read on for more details.<\/p>\n

All candidates will be informed by mid-July, whether or not their talk is accepted.<\/p>\n

To those who are\u00a0considering attending or sponsoring the event:
\nWe will be posting session details and the timetable on this website when they are ready. In the meantime, we hope the below information\u00a0will help to make your decisions.<\/p>\n

“Dawn”<\/h2>\n

As the world’s most popular open-source CMS, WordPres has a huge number of users. Types of users vary widely from those who are using WordPress as a journal (blog), a website for their business, or a development tool that excites geeks. Whichever type of user\/developer you are, we believe that the stories you share will inspire others.<\/p>\n

“Let’s try Something new.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That is the message we want to get across to the WordCamp Tokyo 2016 attendees. Our goal is offer sessions that can motivate and stimulate them, just like the beam of sunlight in the dawn.<\/p>\n
