WordCamp Miami doesn’t usually do keynotes – so if there’s one on our 10th anniversary then you know it must be big. With big changes coming in WordPress in 2018 (and beyond) that effect almost every WordPress user and developer, we thought it was time to cover this subject at the closing of the day on Saturday March 17th.
“WordPress: Looking To The Future”
This talk will be applicable to all WordCamp Miami attendees as we talk about the past, present, and future of WordPress. We’ll briefly look back at the early days of WordPress and WordCamp Miami, and see how WordPress has evolved. Then we’ll be considering the future as it pertains to the WordPress community and WordPress itself – including something called Gutenberg, which is an exciting project that will effect nearly all WordPress users. This talk will inspire ideas and get everyone energized and excited for what the future of WordPress and the web will be.
