Vipe Studio at WordCamp Sofia 2023: Event Highlights

The eagerly anticipated WordCamp Sofia 2023, Bulgaria’s largest WordPress event, finally arrived last weekend (April 22-23), after the last in-person gathering in 2019. Held at Sofia Tech Park, the event brought together over 400 experts, both national and international, from different companies, as well as freelancers and enthusiasts, all keen to deepen their understanding of the latest WordPress-related topics and best practices.

The Bulgarian WordPress community was ecstatic to finally reconnect and bond over their shared love for WordPress. So was our team. Let’s see how WordCamp Sofia 2023 went through the eyes of Vipe Studio.
