Members of the WPM team attended a special in-person WooCommerce Zagreb Meetup in Zagreb on January 28, 2026, where the local community gathered for an evening of talks, discussion, and networking. Hosted by Bruno Zagorščak, Co-founder and Chief Content Officer at Neuralab, the event took place at Holographik.Space and brought together developers, merchants, and WooCommerce enthusiasts from across the region.

The meetup featured two engaging presentations followed by a lively Q&A session. Brian Coords and Shani Banerjee walked attendees through the latest WooCommerce updates, including checkout extensibility, block-first experiences, the Interactivity API, and emerging AI features, with a strong focus on how these changes impact real-world builds. Brent Mackinnon then zoomed out to share the broader picture of how WooCommerce is positioning itself in today’s eCommerce landscape, shedding light on the product roadmap and the ecosystem context that often stays behind the scenes.

Beyond the talks, we truly enjoyed connecting with the local WooCommerce community, exchanging experiences, and continuing conversations during the informal networking that followed. Events like this are a great reminder of the strength of the WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystems and the value of meeting the community face to face.

During the meetup, we also invited everyone to join us at WordCamp Slovenia 2026, taking place on May 16, 2026, in Ljubljana. WordCamp Slovenia will the first official WordPress event in the country, bringing together developers, designers, content creators, and business owners from across the region. We hope to see many familiar faces there and continue the conversations started in Zagreb.
