Keeping track of the % of APAC speakers at WC Asia 2025

WordCamp Asia 2025 organizers have announced the first batch of speakers:

• Katie Keith of Barn2 Plugins (EMEA)
• Nirmal Desai of CreedAlly (APAC)
• Riad Benguella of Automattic (EMEA)
• Jo Minney of House Digital (APAC)
• James Giroux of WordPress VIP (Americas)

I’m going to keep track of where speakers are from as well as where their companies are from too, as I did for WordCamp Asia 2024.

The organizers are aiming to have 60% of local representation, which would be just about twice as much as the previous event (27%). This would be a great result.
