Heads Up for WCEU 2026: WordPress 7.0, AI, and Collaboration
Table of Contents
There are some events that feel bigger than a conference.
For us at IT Monks, WordCamp Europe 2026 is exactly that.
This year’s event feels especially meaningful because WordCamp EU is coming to Kraków, the city where our headquarters is based and where most of our team members work side by side every day. Seeing the WordPress community gather in our home city is something we are genuinely proud of, and we are excited to support the event in any way we can.
Over the years, WordCamp Europe has always been a place where ideas, partnerships, technical discussions, and friendships come together. But this year feels different for us internally as well.
It will be our most “crowded” WordCamp yet.
Nearly 60% of the IT Monks team will attend the event, making it the largest group we have ever brought to a WordCamp. Developers, QA engineers, designers, operations leaders, and management will all be part of the experience.
Meet the IT Monks Team at WordCamp Europe 2026
This year, the following team members will represent IT Monks in Kraków:
For us, WordCamp is not only about presentations and announcements.
It is one of the few moments during the year when the global WordPress ecosystem gathers in one place. Conversations that normally happen through Slack messages, GitHub issues, Zoom calls, or LinkedIn comments suddenly become face-to-face discussions over coffee tables, hallway meetups, and late evening community events.
That human side of the WordPress ecosystem is a big reason why events like WordCamp Europe continue to matter.
Looking Ahead to WordPress 7.0
Another reason we are especially excited about this year’s event is the growing momentum around WordPress.
The upcoming WordPress 7.0 release is expected to introduce some major workflow improvements, including synchronized page editing capabilities that could significantly change how teams collaborate inside the editor environment.
For agencies and enterprise marketing teams, this matters far beyond convenience.
Collaborative editing has the potential to improve content operations, reduce publishing blockers, simplify approval workflows, and make distributed marketing teams far more efficient. As more organizations treat WordPress as operational infrastructure rather than simply a CMS, features like synchronized editing become increasingly important.
We are also looking forward to extensive conversations around AI inside the WordPress ecosystem.
Over the past year, AI has shifted from experimental tooling into something that directly affects development workflows, content operations, QA processes, personalization systems, and even the way enterprise websites are structured. We expect many of this year’s discussions at WordCamp Europe to focus not only on AI-powered plugins, but on how AI is reshaping modern website operations as a whole.
For our team, WordCamp Europe is an opportunity to exchange real implementation experiences, learn from other builders in the ecosystem, and better understand where WordPress is heading next.
Let’s Meet in Kraków

And of course, we are always open to grabbing a cup of coffee somewhere in Kraków.
