Bengaluru for WordCampers. A short guide to the city for WordCamp Bengaluru 2026, on 21 and 22 November: the two days, the weather, the food you shouldn’t miss, how to get there and where to stay.

One ticket covers both days: ₹800, lunch included.

ಕನ್ನಡ ರಾಜ್ಯೋತ್ಸವದ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು. Happy Kannada Rajyotsava. District websites across Karnataka, Kannada news and the city’s stages and campuses run on WordPress, and volunteers have put 95% of WordPress into Kannada.

This post shows where WordPress already is, what the dashboard looks like in Kannada, the people who translated it, and where you come in.

General Admission is ₹800 for both days, lunch included.

WordPress and AI: five questions. On Sunday 22 November, 17 of the 24 sessions at WordCamp Bengaluru are about WordPress and AI, in two halls running side by side. This post sorts them under five questions, with one thing to try before Sunday for each, and the two clashes worth deciding early.

01 How does an agent work inside WordPress?
02 Can you trust what AI writes, and what it does?
03 What will it cost, and what will it earn?
04 Is it paying off for teams like yours?
05 Will people still find your content?

General Admission is ₹800 for both days, lunch included.

How the weekend works. WordCamp Bengaluru 2026 is two days, at two venues, on one ticket. Saturday 21 November is Contributor Day at Bangalore International Centre, Domlur, by a free sign-up with limited seats. Sunday 22 November is the conference at St Joseph’s Boys’ High School, Museum Road, and your ticket gets you in.

The post covers what happens on each day, how the Saturday sign-up works, what your ticket includes and what to bring. General Admission is ₹800 for both days.

Your first WordCamp. More than a third of the people at the first WordCamp Bengaluru had never been to a WordCamp before. If that is you this year, this post goes through Sunday 22 November in order: when to arrive, which talks to pick, where people meet, and what happens after.

There are four suggested routes through the sessions, two of them with no code, plus notes for anyone travelling in. General Admission is ₹800 for both days, lunch included.

Where to stay for WordCamp Bengaluru 2026. The main day, Sunday 22 November, is at St Joseph’s Boys’ High School on Museum Road, and more than ninety places to sleep sit within two kilometres of the venue.

We have sorted a short list by price, from an ₹878 dorm bed on Church Street to ₹24,500 a night at the Oberoi, with the distance from the venue beside each one, plus Indiranagar on the metro and what to check before booking a flat. Prices are for the night of Saturday 21 November, read on 23 October 2026, and they move, so price your own dates.

Every WordCamp Bengaluru 2026 ticket is bought with a free WordPress.org account. The new guide takes you through the whole purchase screen by screen, from the tickets page to the ticket in your inbox.

Speaker, volunteer, sponsor or media partner? The last part shows where the code we sent you goes.

WordCamp Bengaluru 2026 is two days in two buildings, about six kilometres apart. The new travel guide covers how to reach both, from the airport, the four big railway stations and the Majestic bus stand.

Saturday 21 November, Contributor Day: Bangalore International Centre, Domlur. You need your ticket and the separate free sign-up. Take the metro to Indiranagar and an auto for the last 2 km.

Sunday 22 November, main day: St Joseph’s Boys’ High School, Museum Road. Any ticket works. It is a 10 to 15 minute walk from MG Road or Cubbon Park metro.

From the airport, allow 60 to 90 minutes. The Vayu Vajra buses cost ₹280 to ₹300 into the centre, a cab ₹1,200 to ₹1,800, and the airport train does not run on Sundays.
