# 󠀁[Call for ideas: new features for our NextGen WP events central page](https://make.wordpress.org/community/2023/08/23/call-for-ideas-new-features-for-our-nexgen-wp-events-central-page/)󠁿

As the [WordPress.org new design](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2023/04/10/wordpress-org-redesign-update-2/)
is taking shape, I’d like to open a call for ideas with this post to find the most
useful and desirable features for a future homepage that would host a list of all
[Next Gen WordPress events](https://make.wordpress.org/community/tag/next-gen-events/),
have a centralized place to find the next WP events, all open calls for speakers,
sponsors, volunteers, ticket sales,… and to be able to filterFilter Filters are 
one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks).
They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the
counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated
manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and
output. them by continent, country, language, type of event, etc.

I’d like to share [The Linux Foundation Events page](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/)
for reference as it contains many elements that we’re missing in the [WordCamp Central Schedule](https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/)
page and that it would be very useful for attendees, sponsors, etc.

[[

I’d like to highlight:

 * You can search events by name, topic, categories, country…
 * Every event in the list has a direct link to its registration page, schedule,
   call for speakers (if currently open), call for sponsors (if currently open),
   etc.
 * The top submenu includes links to the pages where someone can see [all the calls for speakers currently open](https://href.li/?https://linuxfoundation.smapply.io/),
   [all calls for sponsors currently open](https://href.li/?https://events.linuxfoundation.org/about/sponsor/),
   etc.
 * I visualize this new homepage as a place where people can find any kind of WP
   event: meetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together
   for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more
   about Meetups in our [Meetup Organizer Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/).,
   WordCamps, NexGen events, WP workshops,…

## Ideas are welcome!

It’s our opportunity to create something that improves our current [“Upcoming Events”](https://make.wordpress.org/community/events/)
and [WordCamp Central Schedule](https://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/) pages and
to create a more modern and usable site that can be useful to newcomers, attendees,
sponsors, etc., and to promote it publicly more.

Please comment with your feedback and please add any more features that you’d like
to see in this new site, thanks!
