Torro Forms is a Drag & Drop form builder plugin that is easy to use for administrators, yet flexible to extend for developers. The plugin was made with both user groups in mind to ensure that you can do exactly what you want without getting stuck in complicated setups. In addition, our plugin looks and behaves in the same way that the rest of WordPress does. If you’re tired of seeing bloated, “all-fancy” user interfaces that distract you from what you actually want to achieve – be relieved, we are too.http://torro-forms.com/

After-party, yeah!
After a day full of conferences, you are all invited to the after-party to chill out and share conversation with the greatest of community!
Talking about WordPress or the state of the Wor(l)d 🙂 about the weather, the last celeb gossip, or UX design… you name it!
The party will begin at 9pm at Mon Rêve Restaurant, in quartier “Les Pâquis”. We will have the Lounge Bar in the basement.
Mon Rêve Restaurant, Rue de Bâle 14, 1201 Genève
(walking distance from main station = 8 minutes, see full directions in the Location page)
Speakers, sponsors and staff will be invited to a restaurant in the same area, while other attendees can go to eat on their own (even at Mon Rêve, which is also a restaurant in the ground floor). We will have drinks at the party.
We are looking forward to share those moments with you!
Bienvenue au WordCamp Geneva

Le WordCamp Geneva est une conférence tout autour de WordPress, qui se déroulera les 18 et 19 novembre 2016 à Genève. Vous trouverez d’autres infos générales sur WordPress et les WordCamps au bas de cette page.
Une journée de conférences et ateliers se tiendra le vendredi 18 au Musée d’Histoire Naturelle, proposant plus de 20 sessions sur des sujets liés au développement WordPress, mais aussi au design ou à la stratégie de contenus.
Le soir nous aurons une after-party et nous pourrons discuter en français ou en anglais, de WordPress, ou pas, en sirotant un verre ou deux (offerts).
Une journée « Contributor Day » aura lieu le samedi 19, et vous permettra de prendre part activement au projet WordPress. Voir plus d’info à ce sujet plus bas dans les info générales.
