Why CampBuddy

Your first WordCamp can feel like a lot

You walk in and don’t know anyone. Most event apps only give you a schedule. CampBuddy helps with the rest: what to do next, who to meet and how to make the most of the day.

I don’t know anyone here.

CampBuddy People shows who wants to meet and what they’re into. Say hi to one of them.

Contributor Day? Hallway track? What does that even mean?

CampBuddy The first-timer guide explains every word you’ll hear, and what to bring.

Where should I be right now?

CampBuddy Home shows what’s on now and what’s next, and your saved sessions remind you.

What you get

Everything for the day, in one place

Your WordCamp’s own name and logo appear inside, so it feels like part of the event.

Why people like it

  • No account, ever. What you type stays on your phone unless you choose to share it.
  • Works on weak venue Wi-Fi. Once you’ve opened your event, it keeps working offline.
  • Feels like your event’s own app. Each WordCamp’s name and logo appear inside.

Used live

WordCamp Rajasthan 2026 (3–4 October, Jaipur) ran CampBuddy for its attendees, with a QR code on every printed ID card. Delhi, Bengaluru and events in other countries are already in the app.

For organizers

It takes very little work. Your WordCamp appears once its site is live, and the app keeps itself up to date from your event’s own site.
