WCDLN 2017 Event Theme

Every year WordCamp London has a unique theme inspired by the big city, and its culture, traditions and history. In the past we’ve been transport, punk and Victoriana; this year, we’re going bright-lights-big-city with a glitz and glam theatre theme.

The West End theatre district has a long history in the capital, and you’ll find references to our event theme in our designs, communications, sponsorship packages and everything else we can get our jazz hands on.

This is an excuse to be even more theatrical than usual – how could we resist?!
