WordCamp in Cape Town was a success for the Angry Creative team in attendance! WordCamp, which ran from 1-2 August, was a great opportunity to dive into the latest e-commerce trends and network with industry leaders from across Africa. We are proud and happy that we could not only be part of the event but also involved in organising it.
Key insights and networking
Thanks to the opportunity to be present, we got an insight into the dynamic atmosphere. The commercial focus of this year’s WordCamp was particularly engaging, with a focus on e-commerce trends across South Africa and the wider African continent. Our team members highlighted fruitful discussions with various industry players, including PayStack, a prominent payment provider in South Africa supported by Stripe.
Opportunities in the African market
The event also highlighted the growing demand for premium agency services in Africa. PayStack’s insights into the market’s potential highlighted the opportunities that exist for agencies like Angry Creative. Discussions revealed that African businesses are increasingly seeking high-quality development and website services, creating a solid foundation for expansion.
Community and charity initiatives
Angry Creative’s commitment to the community was also showcased, our stand was donated to APD and their charity team. This organisation focuses on empowering people with disabilities in Cape Town, and we were happy to support their mission. We hope this exposure at WordCamp helped APD build valuable connections.
The opportunities at WordCamp
WordCamp Cape Town 2024 was more than just a conference; it highlighted the collaborative spirit that permeates the WordPress community. Attendees had the chance to learn from expert-led sessions, participate in hands-on workshops, and network with other WordPress enthusiasts. The event was sold out, underlining the strong interest and engagement.
In conclusion, WordCamp Cape Town 2024 was a great success for Angry Creative. The insights gained, connections made and opportunities explored will no doubt shape our strategic direction in the future. We look forward to utilising these learnings to enhance our offerings and drive continued growth and innovation.
