WordPress, the world’s biggest Content Management System (CMS) platform used by 75 million websites and pages, have strengthened WordPress communities all over the world through WordCamps, which are locally-organized conferences dedicated to everything about WordPress. And for the first time since the camp’s initial event in 2006, Iloilo will be hosting its own conference on August 25, 2018 at the Iloilo Convention Center.
WordCamps are grassroots-led, low-cost weekend events organized by volunteer teams. They aim to bring together WordPress users and enthusiasts of varying skill levels in a welcoming, engaging and safe space for them to get to know each other and network. This is supported by a strict Code of Conduct that is enforced in any WordCamp event.
A usual WordCamp may feature topics on content creation and marketing, plugin and theme development, or just the latest tips or advanced techniques on using and developing on WordPress. Generally, however, topics are determined based on the needs and interests of the local community.
Iloilo’s first WordCamp aims to attract between 200-300 attendees from all over the world. We started with a handful of people and are now steadily growing into an active community. And you could help us flourish!

form function & class
2018-08-18 08:00 - 18:00
<form> function() & .class
As the Philippine Web Designers Organization commemorates its 10th anniversary this 2018, <form> function() & .class celebrates its 9th year!
What you might not know is: we formed the organization because we wanted to hold a web design conference in the Philippines.
We knew that putting the event together would take a while, so we began with a MiniFFC meetup on October 30, 2008 at the G2VC TechBar in Exist, Pasig. Over 50 people listened to 6 wonderful talks — a mini conference, indeed. Then on July 10, 2009 we launched the first FFC at the Asian Institute of Management Makati. Over the years we’ve introduced workshops and masterclasses to FFC, and this year we’re doing something different once again: an all-masterclass format.
Our events may shift in form, buzzwords might come and go—much like the dynamic nature of this industry—but our goals remain: to unite professionals & enthusiasts who create human interfaces for the Web, to champion the use of standards, accessibility, & usability, and to uplift the state of web design in the country.
Why is it called FFC? The 3 words allude to the 3 elements of a website (<form> from HTML, function() from JavaScript, .class from CSS) and to 3 concepts central to the craft—form, function, & continuous learning.
Form Function & Class was hailed Most Diverse Tech Conference in 2017 by Women Who Code Manila.
