Celebrating 10 Years!
It takes ALL kinds of help and sponsors to make a conference. Although many focus on the “big guys” it’s also our community sponsors that really play an important role in spreading the word about WordCamp Miami to the local community. We wanted to thank our community sponsors before the event. Here is a full list:
My Curator Content Curation Plugin
Launched in 2011, WooCommerce powers over 28% of all online stores and is developed and supported by a fully distributed team across the globe.
WooCommerce is truly open and customizable and, unlike many out-of-the-box solutions, you can build a store tailored to your specific business needs and objectives. Sell anything, anywhere, with no restrictions.
WooCommerce supports the sale of physical products, digital goods, subscriptions, memberships, service and accommodation bookings and ticketing. It integrates seamlessly with major payment gateways and eCommerce service providers. It’s free to download and install, and enables you to maintain complete ownership of all your data, forever.
WooCommerce is proud to Sponsor WordCamp Miami as part of the Global Sponsorship Program and we look forward to seeing you there!
Jetpack is a free toolkit for WordPress that bundles together resources to improve your site. It includes free themes and design tools, social sharing and related content to help you increase your traffic, and basic security features like brute force login protection.
What makes Jetpack special is this: we give you tools you need for a successful WordPress site in one place. Rather than download multiple plugins or pay for several different tools, you can download Jetpack and increase your site’s capabilities right away.
We also have an affiliate program that lets you earn 20% on all referred sales, plus gives you personalized assistance and resources to help you get started!
Nearly all the features you see in Jetpack originated on WordPress.com. So the Jetpack plugin is our way of making those same features available to self-hosted WordPress users.
The WordPress community has shaped a lot of what goes into Jetpack, as well as the features we offer in our paid plans (like backups and premium themes). We always get great feedback and ideas every time we attend a WordCamp. This is just one of the reasons why we’re so excited to sponsor and attend WordCamp Miami.
Qualpay provides a modern REST API based payments platform, paired with a merchant account, that is easily adaptable to the unique needs of your business. Store Builders, Developers and ISV’s can join our Partner Program and provide value to your customers while enjoying a competitive revenue share.
We help merchants find the right pricing that is best for their business by offering either the typical fixed-rate market pricing or a variety of options including interchange pass-through. In 24 hours we can provide a cost savings analysis that can usually save a merchant over 30% off their processing costs.
Use our free extension or create your own and support Embedded Fields, Payment Gateway, and Checkout or refer our ready-to-use Virtual Terminal, Customer Vault, Recurring Billing and Account Updater. We support business-to-business customers, foreign currency processing as well as convenience and surcharge fees. All available to you at zero cost. Alternatively use a third-party payment gateway or offer plugins and extensions to a variety of e-commerce platforms and shopping carts, all integrated with our merchant account.
Miami is an amazing town full of diversity, incredible food, and – most importantly – some of the best and brightest WordPress talent in the world! That’s why we’re headed your way!
DreamHost is proud to be a sponsor of WordCamp Miami 2018!
Here’s a crazy statistic! On average we have 1.8 WordPress installations for every single customer at DreamHost. That’s a whole lot of WordPress all over our servers. With WordPress powering over a quarter of all sites on the web, it’s hard to see why anyone wouldn’t get excited about its incredible ability to give voices to the voiceless through lovingly-crafted lines of poetic code.
DreamHost supports WordPress with our time, with our talent, and with our technology. We’ve built incredible managed WordPress hosting options like DreamPress that make it run like lightning!
WordPress brings the creativity of people and the power of computers together in a way that few platforms have been able to accomplish. The WordPress community is incredible and never ceases to amaze us! It’s full of thousands of helpful people, all focused as much on improving the core platform as it is to ensuring that anyone who wants their voice heard online gets that chance.
WordCamps take the best of the WordPress community and bring it offline. WordPress users, designers, and developers of all skill levels gather together for two days of learning and networking in one of the most supportive environments you’ll find in the tech world.
We’re thrilled to be sponsoring WordCamp Miami this year and can’t wait to hear your stories!
It’s about time we talk more about this work-enhancing platform for WordPress devs, designers, agencies and admins. Plesk has created the WP Toolkit to help these users manage their sites and apps. It’s a necessary WordPress tool because it simplifies your workload with a single, all-in-one dashboard. Check out its top features following our latest update.
You’ll initialize and configure WordPress from beginning to end with just a click from the WP Toolkit itself. Want to test new features and/or code? Super – just clone your site with the toolkit, stage it independently, then sync it when your ideas are ready for the spotlight.
Plus, our last update now makes it possible to use your own custom plugins & themes. Build a site to your taste.
We’ve integrated the best practices by WP Codex and other WP security experts. Then made them available to harden your site and instances with just a click from the Toolkit’s platform.
Basically means you can trim down on costs by eliminating a security consultant team. Because we’ve done it for you.
Now comes the good part. You’ve built your site/app and secured it well – time to watch the magic happen. You’ll get an overview of all your WordPress sites on one dashboard. So you can manage your WP core, themes and plugins simultaneously if you wish.
Even more, you won’t have to worry about ever falling behind the rest of the pack. Because Plesk releases frequent updates to the WP Toolkit. Not only to iron out any bugs, but to stay on top of new security and management features.
It’s the tool for web professionals. There’s a WP Toolkit version for each type of user – depending on the license you have.
So get in touch with the team for more info or try it for free today. In the meantime, our reps Carole and Robert will be eager to meet you and show you a free demo at WordCamp Miami. See you there!

For 10 years now, WordCamp Miami gathers a community of knowledgeable professionals like bloggers, marketers, designers, coders, and e-commerce owners. For the past 5 of those, our partners at SiteGround have been actively supporting the event. Now, to celebrate WordCamp Miami’s 10th anniversary, they will not only be sharing knowledge with the WordPress community but have also prepared some awesome new surprises for all attendees.
Francesca Marano, who joined team SiteGround as a WordPress Community Manager last year, will talk about markup languages, the importance of using the right elements to help visitors read your web content with pleasure, and will teach you how to fix common problems with a few HTML tags.
As many of you already know, SiteGround’s managed WordPress hosting plans are perfectly-suited for both beginners and more advanced users. They offer all essential WordPress hosting features such as automatic updates and staging, plus hard-core geeky tools like WP-CLI and Git, and have a super helpful support team that will never let you down. You’ll be able to take advantage of their feature-rich hosting plans, now with a special hosting offer with 50% off for WordCamp Miami attendees.
That’s not all! The SiteGround team have prepared another cool surprise. On their, booth, you will be able to get a special code (on a tailor-made keychain!) and enter their game for a chance to win not one, but three custom-designed air loungers for adventurous WordPress enthusiasts. Don’t miss to stop by SiteGround’s booth and try your luck!
If you’re not already familiar with SiteLock, we are a global website security company protecting over 12 million websites worldwide, with over 4 million of those sites powered by WordPress. SiteLock delivers a patented 360-degree website security solution to find, fix and prevent malware and other threats from affecting websites and their visitors.
Founded in 2008, the SiteLock cloud-based suite of products includes automatic file and database malware scanning and removal, an advanced web application firewall, static application security testing, PCI compliance and website acceleration powered by a global CDN.
In 2016, SiteLock launched its notorious “Secure Your Word” campaign to help promote WordPress security. Today, “Secure Your Word” branded shirts are a fixture at WordCamps worldwide. SiteLock has been a global community sponsor and remains committed to sponsoring individual WordCamps in 2018. There’s an interesting story about why we decided to invest in the WordPress community — when you have a moment, check it out.
As you might guess, the SiteLock team regularly attends WordCamps around the world. Not only is the company passionate about the WordPress mission of “Democratizing Publishing,” but you’ll also find members of the SiteLock team sharing their own WordPress experience through speaking opportunities. In fact, SiteLock Open Source Community Manager Adam Warner will answer questions about website security at WCMIA during an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Saturday, March 17th.
But it’s not just about sharing knowledge with others, it’s also about listening to the needs of users and businesses within the community, and leveraging these experiences and resources to create solutions that address specific needs. That’s why SiteLock announced its new SMART®PLUS™ product during WordCamp U.S. in December of 2017.
Similar to how the SiteLock SMART™ and INFINITY™ scans automatically find and remove malware in a website file structure, SMART PLUS extends the company’s automatic malware identification and removal abilities to include your website database.
SMART PLUS also provides the ability to identify and automatically remove spam comments, and can be customized in order to filter specific keywords and phrases that matter to you. This saves valuable time from the generally tedious task of reviewing and maintaining the cleanliness and quality of the comments included within your content.
We’re excited to be a Gold Sponsor for WordCamp Miami’s 10th-anniversary! Our WordPress Evangelists, Jamie Schmid, Adam Warner and other members of the SiteLock team will be running our sponsor booth. Stop by and say hello and learn more about how we protect websites.
WordCamp Miami 2018 is over. Check out the next edition!
