Finally, the date was renewed online for 16 April 2021. <strong>Papaki was there as a gold sponsor<\/strong>, for another year, actively supporting the event and the WordPress community.<\/p>\n<h2>What is WordCamp?<\/h2>\n<p>Almost half of all websites are built with the open source WordPress software. It is a CMS (Content Management System) a website building platform, whose use is constantly increasing, especially in Greece. <strong>WordCamps are conferences that talk about WordPress but also about the internet and technologies in general<\/strong>. They bring together professionals from many different fields, such as design, programming, marketing, startups, eCommerce, etc. and are held in more than 120 countries worldwide!<br>All events, including Greece, are supported by the WordPress Foundation, which aims to preserve the openness of WordPress.<\/p>\n<h2>Why WordPress?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>At Papaki we love WordPress.<\/strong> We use it for ourselves - our blog and other projects are set up on WordPress - but we also recommend it to our clients. Here you will find services like Managed WordPress Hosting and Managed WooCommerce for eShops. Our team has also developed a number of Plugins to provide solutions for every WordPress user.<\/p>\n<h2>To WordCamp Greece 2021<\/h2>\n<p>Different from all other years, this year's event was hosted on the Airmeet online platform, 16-18 April, where we had set up our digital booth.<br>There, as at the other sponsors' booths, we had a video about Papaki, information and virtual swags - gifts for those who \"visited\" us. The Papaki team took turns at the booth to answer any questions visitors might have and many of us attended the talks.<\/p>\n<p>It was natural <strong>to miss networking intensely<\/strong> and the friendships formed at WordCamps. An online conference is difficult to provide direct, human contact. However, the organizing team went out of their way to set up a well-organized event.<\/p>\n<p>The talks lasted 2 days, were very interesting and covered a wide range of topics. They were of interest to <strong>businesses looking for online solutions<\/strong>: useful tips to avoid your site being \"hacked\", as well as current issues, e.g. online accessibility for people with disabilities (WCAG 2.0), multilingual websites and SEO tips. There was a lot of extensive reference to <strong>Google web vitals<\/strong> and how these will improve speeds and user experience.<br>There was also simultaneous interpretation for deaf people, which was very positive.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there was the After Party which, although online, managed to break the ice of the online event.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to support similar events, especially to maintain their non-profit character. But also to have an overview of \"what's going on\" on the internet, to get feedback and to meet a lot of people with a tremendous interest. We look forward to the next WordCamp which we really hope will be live!<\/p>\n<p>See the programme and more here: greece.wordcamp.org<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n fbq('init', '374885085983778');\n fbq('track', 'PageView');\n         setTimeout(()=> {\n        \/\/ fbq('trackCustom', 'BlogPostTimer60s');\n        fbq('track', 'ViewContent', {\n            content_category: 'BlogPostTimer60s',\n            content_name: 'BlogPostTimer60s',\n            content_type: 'product',\n            content_ids: ['BlogPostTimer60s']\n        })\n        },60000);<\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.papaki.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/12\/wordcamp-greece-2021-%CE%AE%CE%BC%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%84%CE%B1%CE%BD-%CE%BA%CE%B9-%CE%B5%CE%BC%CE%B5%CE%AF%CF%82-%CE%B5%CE%BA%CE%B5%CE%AF\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" aria-label=\"Icon\" target=\"_blank\">Source : <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0391\u03bd\u03c5\u03c0\u03bf\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd\u03bf\u03cd\u03c3\u03b1\u03bc\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03b5\u03bd\u03ac\u03bc\u03b9\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c7\u03c1\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf \u03bd\u03b1 \u03b5\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03ad\u03bb\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9 \u03ad\u03bd\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03cc \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03b1\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b8\u03b5\u03c3\u03bc\u03bf\u03cd\u03c2: \u03c4\u03bf WordCamp Greece, \u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03c9 \u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b4\u03b7\u03bc\u03af\u03b1\u03c2, \u03b5\u03af\u03c7\u03b5 \u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac\u03be\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c4\u03b1 \u03c3\u03c7\u03ad\u03b4\u03b9\u03ac \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5. \u03a4\u03b5\u03bb\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac, \u03c4\u03bf \u03c1\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03b2\u03bf\u03cd \u03b1\u03bd\u03b1\u03bd\u03b5\u03ce\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03b5 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u03c4\u03c5\u03b1\u03ba\u03ac \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b9\u03c2&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14817,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[656,655,660,659,657,658],"class_list":{"0":"post-14816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-1","8":"tag-greece","9":"tag-wordcamp","10":"tag-660","11":"tag-659","12":"tag-657","13":"tag-658"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mike.atsas.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
