This year’s WordCamp in Cape Town was a blast for the Angry Creative team! Held from August 1-2, it was a fantastic opportunity to dive into the latest e-commerce trends and network with industry leaders from all over Africa. We are proud and happy that we were not only able to be a part of the event but also involved in organizing it.
Key takeaways and networking
A couple of our team members had the opportunity to participate in the event, offering us a glimpse into the dynamic atmosphere. The commercial focus of this year’s WordCamp was particularly engaging, with an emphasis on e-commerce trends across South Africa and the broader African continent. Our team members highlighted fruitful discussions with various industry players, including PayStack, a prominent payment provider in South Africa backed by Stripe.
Exploring opportunities in the African market
The event also shed light on the growing demand for premium agency services in Africa. PayStack’s insights into the market’s potential underscored the opportunities available for agencies like Angry Creative. The conversations highlighted that African businesses are increasingly seeking high-quality development and site rebuild services, creating a solid ground for expansion.
Community and charity initiatives
Angry Creative’s commitment to the community was also on display, with our stand being donated to the APD charity team. This organization focuses on empowering persons with disabilities in Cape Town, and we were thrilled to support their mission. We hope this exposure at WordCamp helped APD build valuable connections.
The spirit of WordCamp
WordCamp Cape Town 2024 was more than just a conference. It truly showcased the collaborative spirit of the WordPress community.
