That&#8217;s why we try to support the local conferences and meetup groups as wherever we can.<br \/>\nWe send our engineers to as many events as possible, so they learn and improve their skills, which ultimately benefits our customers. Becoming a sponsor is the next logical step for us.<br \/>\nAnd while doing so, we can give back to the community that enables us to work with amazing software like WordPress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why should people come to WordCamp Antwerp?<\/strong><br \/>\nSimply because it&#8217;s the place for WordPress enthousiasts and professional to learn, network and make new friends. And it&#8217;s a Belgian WordCamp, which makes it awesome on its own.<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re into WordPress, you simply can&#8217;t miss out on this conference.
