Tech Events by WordPress Amsterdam

with Fellyph Cintra (, )

WP Meetup Amsterdam hosts Fellyph Cintra on WebMCP, a proposal that lets a website tell AI agents which actions it offers. He shows examples in WordPress Playground, where to start experimenting, what precautions to take and how to contribute to the proposal. Fellyph has worked with WordPress since 2008 and has spoken at more than 20 WordCamps, including WordCamp Asia and WordCamp Europe 2026. Wednesday 19:00 to 21:00 at Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Oost, Timorplein 21. RSVP on Meetup. Why go: agents that browse and act on sites will reach every plugin and theme developer, and this is a practical first look from someone close to the work. Best for WordPress developers and agency builders.

with Robert Abela (CEO and Founder, Melapress)

Robert Abela, CEO and founder of Melapress, on session hijacking in WordPress: how auth cookies and session tokens work, how sessions get stolen, and what an attacker can do inside a dashboard without ever logging in. Then the practical part: session visibility, timeouts, concurrent-login limits, device recognition and logging what happens after login. Walk-in 19:00, talk 19:15, then an Ask Me Anything where attendees bring their own WordPress problems, and drinks at the bar from 21:00. At Stayokay Amsterdam Oost, Timorplein 21. Hosted by WordPress Meetup Amsterdam. Free. Why go: a security talk that starts where firewalls and 2FA stop, from someone who builds the tools. Best for agency developers and anyone running WordPress sites for clients.

October's WordPress Amsterdam meetup, at the Stayokay hostel on Timorplein in Amsterdam Oost, on AI in development and in back-office work. Hussain Bharmal opens at 19:15 on getting more out of WordPress development with whichever AI tool you already use; Jens De Beule follows after the break on agentic workflows. Walk-in from 19:00, finish at 21:00. Free, and the group runs it monthly. Why go: WordPress still runs a large share of Dutch small-business sites, and this is the room where the people maintaining them compare what AI tooling actually saves them. Best for freelance developers and agency builders rather than platform engineers.

The Amsterdam WordPress community's monthly evening at Stayokay Oost — plugin and theme development, hosting and the agency side of building on WordPress.
