WordCamp Europe 2016 will begin bright and early this morning in the halls of the Leopold Museum and the Baroque suites of the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. The sold-out event is the largest WordCamp to date with 2,200 attendees expected.

While attendees who arrived early were enjoying dinners and activities around the city, an army of volunteers went through orientation in preparation for hosting the event. Organizers have created one of the most accessible WordPress events to date with live captioning, childcare, a breastfeeding/baby room, a multi-faith room, and wheelchair accessibility provided.
