lot. You learn how to coordinate a multi-language-multi-disciplinary team and volunteerism. A lot of work. A work of attracting sponsorships, signing contracts (this year with a novelty for signatures with <a href=\"https:\/\/firmafy.com\">Firmafy<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been nine people for one year and almost 40 meetings we have raised almost 1.2 million euros which all goes to make the event possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end we have to work with the sponsors is a part that really makes the <strong>economic realization of the event<\/strong> possible, with a lot of expenses: food, catering, production, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been running several brands like SiteGround, GravityForms&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we do is we take the sale, sign the contract, show them what their sponsorship package has in it, where they have to go, the logos and the information they&#8217;re going to put on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, a series of information that throughout the year are working and already, in our team the advantage is that the last week, as everything is already planned and done, is that it works very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_event\"><\/span>The event<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" src=\"https:\/\/davidperezgar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto-familia-wceu-2023.jpg\" alt=\"Wceu 2023 Family Photo\" class=\"wp-image-3406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidperezgar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/foto-familia-wceu-2023.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/davidperezgar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/foto-familia-wceu-2023-596x335.jpg 596w, https:\/\/davidperezgar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/foto-familia-wceu-2023-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/davidperezgar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/foto-familia-wceu-2023-1082x609.jpg 1082w, https:\/\/davidperezgar.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/foto-familia-wceu-2023-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Organization Photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that a quite interesting event, impressive the truth. I who have been going to different WordCamps since 2016, in the Europe the dimensions are brutal. You find very expert people, Directors and Project Managers, Senior Developers from large companies and the best thing is that you can <strong>ask questions and they are open to help you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, what I get especially from the WordCamp was a conversation with <a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/cbravobernal\/\">Carlos Bravo<\/a> WordPress editor who helped me to implement the new tests that are already using the Gutenberg editor with END to END type from Playwright and also the WP-ENV based tests. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be preparing papers for upcoming events on these topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always say this for people who come for the first time to a WordCamp. And that is to participate and even propose a presentation so that you can, well, you can go deeper and share it with more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I recommend going to the talks, meet people, make yourself known, introduce yourself and above all try to get, well especially in the Europe edition to meet people before, you want to see, because of course having three thousand people in an event it is true that you find many people in the hallway entering from one side to another, but it is not so easy if you want to look for a person and find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
