The report
WordCamp Poland 2023 was a conference where I always feel at home. The unique atmosphere in Gliwice, the incredible energy from the first moment, and the inspiring presentations made this year’s event truly exceptional.
Especially memorable were presentations by Tomasz Karwatka, Łukasz Wilczak, and Aleksander Misky. The workshops by Marcin Krzemiński on wp-cli and Maciek Palmowski on Astro were excellent!
