Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress will be joining us at WordCamp Europe again this year to deliver the keynote talk.
Last year, Matt’s keynote and Q&A session was rated #1 out of all talks in our post-event attendee survey, and his talks regularly draw a huge crowd at WCEU.
During his keynote talks in previous years, Matt has shared exclusive insights into WordPress and Gutenberg. We are delighted that he will be taking the stage again for WCEU 2019 as a guest speaker on Friday 21 June.
To coincide with announcing our keynote speaker, we’ve released the schedule of talks and workshops for WordCamp Europe 2019.
Introducing track 3
We know how much attendees value the schedule of talks at WCEU. Last year, the talks were rated #2 in our top-rated activities and services, following our volunteers, who took the top spot.
Combine this with a record-breaking number of talk submissions this year, and we decided we wanted to add more talks to the schedule. Introducing: Track 3!
Talks and lightning talks
We are excited to offer a wide selection this year, with a total of 31 talks and 12 lightning talks covering eight different categories.
After feedback from last year’s event in Belgrade, we aim to bring variety but also focus in on some of the most popular topics, such as Development, Gutenberg, SEO, and Business.
More workshops for 2019
Last year, 78% of attendees said they absolutely wanted to see workshops again for 2019. We listened. This year, we will be running 15 workshops, including seven 3-hour workshops and eight 90-minute workshops.
Each workshop has a limited number of places, and early registration is encouraged if you want to secure a spot. We will be opening workshop registration on 10 May 2019. All workshops are free, but you must have a ticket for WCEU 2019 before you can register for a workshop. Don’t have a ticket? Go grab your #WCEU ticket now!
Panel discussions make a return
This year’s schedule sees the return of much-loved panel discussions, reminiscent of the early years of WCEU! For 2019, there are two panel sessions on the schedule, one for each day.
The first panel will discuss ‘User onboarding and retention — What can we learn from site builders?’ and the second panel will discuss ‘Growing beyond Gutenberg — From block-based editing to site administration.’
We will post more information about panel discussions within the next few weeks, so stay tuned.
Get connected
At WCEU, we all have something in common…we love WordPress, open source, and swag!
Our schedule includes an open networking session after closing remarks on Saturday afternoon. This is a great opportunity to catch up with old friends, meet new people, and build great working relationships — creating valued connections and friends for the future.
Between sessions, there are 20-minute breaks, which gives you time to switch tracks or workshops, or to meet our sponsors and grab your favourite swag.
