HookSpark will be at WordCamp Pisa 2026 as a microsponsor. We are just getting started, and we already want to help the WordPress community in our own small way.
Our contribution is small, but we wanted to be involved from the beginning. The project we are building owes a great deal to this ecosystem.
We are starting out. This is how we want to begin.
At HookSpark, we are building WooCommerce plugins for the people who keep online stores running every day: store owners, freelancers and agencies. This is the beginning of a journey, with plenty of work and learning ahead.
WordPress and WooCommerce give us the foundations to build on. Behind the software are people who spend time on code, translations, documentation, support and community events.
Microsponsoring WordCamp Pisa is a first way to say thank you and help make one of those gatherings possible. This is the contribution we can make today, and we are happy to start here.
WordCamp Pisa 2026: dates and venues
WordCamp Pisa takes place on 13–14 November 2026:
- Friday 13 November: Contributor Day at the University of Pisa’s Department of Computer Science.
- Saturday 14 November: the conference at Polo Carmignani.
Contributor Day welcomes people who have never contributed before. Contributions can include code, translations, clearer documentation and helping other people use WordPress.
For the programme, attendance details and updates, visit the official WordCamp Pisa 2026 website.
The conversations we want to bring home
Building plugins means making decisions every day: which problems to solve, which settings people actually need and how to explain behaviour clearly.
We want to meet people who work with WordPress and WooCommerce, listen to recurring difficulties and understand where a process becomes confusing.
A conversation in person can raise a question we would never have thought to ask at our desks. At this stage of HookSpark, those questions matter to us.
The story continues after Pisa
After the event, we will update this page with a video and reflections on the experience: ideas that made us think and lessons we want to bring into our work on HookSpark.
Thank you to the WordCamp Pisa organisers and everyone who gives their time to the community. We are at the beginning, and we are glad to be part of it with our small contribution.
See you in Pisa!
