On May 17, 2025, Johor Bahru hosted its first-ever WordCamp at 42 Iskandar Puteri. It brought together creators, developers, and WordPress enthusiasts from all over for a weekend filled with learning, sharing, and real community connections.
From first-time site builders to seasoned developers, WordCamp Johor Bahru 2025 welcomed everyone with open arms.
Why WordCamps matter
More than just tech meetups, WordCamps are powered by local communities and built on a shared passion for the open web. They bring together developers, designers, bloggers, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and everyone in between to collaborate, inspire, and grow.
It’s where knowledge flows freely and connections go beyond the screen.
Bluehost at WordCamp Johor Bahru
Bluehost was proud to support this milestone event as a Yottabyte Sponsor.
We brought along tools to help attendees launch and grow their websites, including:
-
AI Site Generator: A quick and easy way to build a full WordPress site by answering a few questions. The AI handled layout, design, and starter content so users didn’t have to start from scratch.
-
Bluehost Cloud: A new hosting solution that grows with your site. Faster speeds, better uptime, and simple scaling for creators and businesses.
We also had a booth stocked with branded tumblers, stickers, and practical advice from our team. More than anything, we were there to talk, about your ideas, your roadblocks, and how we could help.

Zee Khamaruldin walked us through how AI helped speed up a full non-profit site build.
