#WCEU2026 - How WordCamp Europe Finds Its Voices

In this episode of WordCamp Europe Insights, Kasia Janoska talks with Piermario Orecchioni, a veteran of the WordCamp Europe speakers team, about what it really takes to put together a programme for one of the biggest WordPress events in the world. From sifting through over 400 applications to making the toughest cuts, Piermario offers an honest and warm look at the behind-the-scenes work.They also discuss what speakers can expect on the day, how the team experiments with formats such as the WP Café Q&A, and why being rejected one year is absolutely no reason not to apply again the next year.For more context, check out the companion blog article.
