It wouldn’t be a WordCamp without Wapuu, the international mascot of WordPress. This sticker sheet features the various Wapuus of Europe.

WP Engine’s editorially independent publication, Torque Magazine, was on the ground at WordCamp Europe and brought with them some awesome Torque-branded fidget spinners. Yoast SEO was also at WCEU and provided attendees with fans to beat the heat. 

Torque Magazine and WP Engine co-sponsored a networking event at Le Spicy Home in the heart of Paris.

The room filled up before the annual Q&A with Matt Mullenweg, where he was joined by Om Malik, founder of GigaOM to discuss The Gutenberg Editor, the open web, and beyond.

Tribe Meetups and Speed Networking were back this year at WordCamp Europe, offering a great opportunity to expand your network and meet new people. Pictured here is the WordPress community tribe.

Volunteers make WordCamps possible. This year 221 volunteers worked together behind the scenes to help make the event happen.
