WordFest 2021 is officially on and we’re excited to be a part of it! Mark your calendars: January 22nd 2021 is your opportunity to experience a virtual, 24-hour event launching a global festival for the WordPress community — WordFest 2021. 

As freelancers and web creators, we’ve all been stuck at home for months on end, riding the waves of COVID-19 from near and far. We can all relate that these circumstances are trying on our day to day state of mind and mental health. Web creators around the world are experiencing the challenge of isolation. Now is the chance to come together with web professionals that are in the same boat — the opportunity to network and draw support from our community is what WordFest is all about. 

We are excited to participate and support this good cause. You’ll meet us, you’ll meet fellow web creators, you’ll win prizes and swag — there’s a lot in store.

Be Sure To Come and Meet Us!

We’re one of the sponsors of WordFest 2021, run by Big Orange Heart, who are taking the event to the virtual sphere in light of the pandemic. True, we may not be meeting face-to-face this year, but we’re nipping the lockdown life in the bud: joining together for support and web creation growth, albeit from a distance. COVID-19 has shown the world the necessity of endorsing remote work, and we want to contribute to this communal effort of making WFH more established, sustainable and interesting. 

Make your way to the Community tent, ‘cause we’ll have an Elementor table there — where we’ll be waiting to see our web creators. You’ll get the chance to join us for video conferencing, some talks, and of course, to hang out with us.

Our table is operating on January 22nd from 10:30 PM IST – 3:30 PM IST and 11:00 AM UTC – 4:00 PM UTC.

Here’s some of what we have in store for the Community tent:

What Is WordFest?

WordFest 2021 is a virtual conference for WordPress users, run by WordCamp organizers. We’re proud sponsors! During these crazy times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event is happening in an online format — catering to the WordPress community across the globe.
