WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences that focus on everything WordPress. Each WordCamp is different, reflecting the local WordPress community it represents, but usually a wide range of people from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.
WordCamps are non-profit events, organized by people from within the community on a voluntary basis. In addition to WordCamps, there are regular meetups in Swiss towns and cities like Bern, Geneva and Zurich, all of which continue to build a strong sense of community.
