The 2025 edition of WordCamp Nairobi was truly a digital adventure worth taking. Held at Daystar University’s Nairobi campus main auditorium, the two-day event lived up to its “Digital Safari” theme — bringing together developers, bloggers, and business owners from across Africa and beyond who share a passion for open-source innovation.
DTS-NET was excited to be part of it all, connecting with creators, learning from inspiring sessions, and sharing how our hosting solutions help power WordPress sites across the globe. It was more than just an event — it was a reminder of how technology builds communities and opens doors for growth.
Highlights from the Event
WordCamps wouldn’t be the same without the people who show up — the curious minds, creators, and builders who make each session come alive. From the moment the talks kicked off, the atmosphere buzzed with energy — a mix of curiosity, collaboration, and shared passion for open source.
One of the standout sessions for us was the talk on “The Hidden Performance Killer in Your WordPress Project: It’s Not Your Code.” It hit close to home, emphasizing the importance of choosing optimized hosting — something we at DTS-NET champion every day.
There were deeply human stories too, such as “WordPress Community: A Bridge to Opportunity,” where Idris Tabi shared how embracing WordPress transformed his career — from hardcoder to developer, trainer, and global contributor. It reminded us how open source continues to change lives far beyond screens and code.
Another session, “Why People Are Your Most Valuable Asset,” reinforced that beyond code and design, the heart of WordPress lies in its people — and growth thrives through learning, sharing, and connecting.
The panel discussion on diversity and inclusion in tech stood out too, expanding the conversation beyond gender to include accessibility, age, and equal opportunity for all — a true reflection of what open source represents.
Between sessions, conversations flowed easily. The WordCamp Nairobi team created a warm, inclusive space that went beyond technical learning. Shared meals, laughter, and casual chats sparked new friendships and collaborations that carried the spirit of the community forward.
As Bronze sponsor, our swag was featured on the main table — giving us the perfect chance to connect with attendees, share insights, and fully take part in the event experience.
Key Takeaways
Every WordCamp leaves you with something new to think about — and this year, it was clear that the future of WordPress is evolving fast while keeping its heart in the right place.
One of the strongest takeaways was how AI continues to shape workflows. AI-driven builders and content assistants have become essential to streamlining routine tasks — freeing up developers to focus on creativity and problem-solving. It echoed an emerging truth: AI isn’t replacing human insight; it’s enhancing it.
Equally powerful was the focus on community and inclusivity. Whether through stories of mentorship, open collaboration, or diverse panels, the message was clear — WordPress thrives when everyone feels seen and supported.
And from a hosting perspective, performance optimization, reliability, and user education continue to be central. As a hosting provider, it reinforced our mission at DTS-NET to empower users with not just fast servers, but the right guidance to make the most of them.
