Rapyd Cloud at WordCamp Asia 2025

In February 2025, we traveled to Manila for WordCamp Asia, the largest WordPress event in the Asia-Pacific region. As an event sponsor, many of our team leaders came out (Fleet included) to connect with the WordPress community, meet customers face-to-face, and share what we've been building.

Here's a look back at our time in the Philippines.

Our Team on the Ground

WordCamp Asia was a team effort. Co-founders Michael Eisenwasser and Tom Cheddadi were at the booth alongside CTO Wes Tatters. We spent three days talking with developers, agency owners, and site builders about what makes managed WordPress hosting actually work for high-traffic, dynamic sites.

Our booth featured live product walkthroughs, on-the-spot free trials, and one-on-one conversations about page speed, scalability, and the infrastructure behind Rapyd Cloud. We also got to meet quite a few existing customers in person for the first time, which was a highlight for everyone on the team.

Fleet Steals the Show

Our mascot Fleet made the trip to Manila and was easily the most photographed member of the team. Between the booth and the conference floor, Fleet was everywhere.

See You at the Next One

WordCamp Asia 2025 was a reminder of why we love this community. The conversations, the energy, and the passion people bring to WordPress are what keep us motivated to build the best hosting platform we can.
