If you’ve spent years building, selling, or advising on WooCommerce, you’ve probably noticed there hasn’t been a dedicated event for this community since WooConf ended. That gap is finally being filled.
Checkout Summit is a brand-new, independent conference built specifically for WooCommerce makers – developers, agencies, consultants, and product builders who live and breathe WooCommerce every day.
The event takes place April 23–24, 2026, at the Saracen Hotel near Palermo, Sicily, Italy.
Yes, Sicily. Two days of practical talks, real conversations, and genuine networking – in one of the most beautiful settings imaginable.
With 150+ attendees expected across a single-track format of 12 talks, this is deliberately small and focused. That means no generic sessions, no filler content, and no shouting into a crowd of thousands. Just the people who actually influence tool choices, build WooCommerce products, and recommend solutions to clients – all in one room.
The speaker lineup is already impressive, featuring names like James Kemp (WooCommerce Product Manager), Katie Keith (Barn2), Josh Kohlbach (Rymera), and many more.
There are also a limited number of sponsorship slots still available on a first-come, first-serve basis – a rare opportunity to get your brand in front of a highly targeted audience of WooCommerce decision-makers and buyers.
A big bonus: you get to see Palermo
I was there in January on holiday and recommend you find time to go visit the city center. Not just to see the sights (it’s worth getting a tour of the Massimo Theatre) but to experience the culture and food, of course. Everything is walking distance and the weather in April is great.
To stay in context of commerce, go visit the Ballarò market where shop for fresh produce, seafood, and street food.
