Announcing Our First Round of WordCamp Phoenix 2019 Speakers

We’re excited to begin announcing our first round of speakers for WordCamp Phoenix 2019 in February!

Our schedule includes sessions for everyone — beginners, writers, digital creatives, developers and entrepreneurs. We’ll have three tracks of sessions plus workshops.

In this first round, we’ll be highlighting one of our workshop speakers and four of our speakers for the developer track.

There’s lots of exciting changes in WordPress Development in recent years and lots of cool new frontiers for WordPress code. These speakers will be teaching us to build WordPress blocks in React, create Amazon Alexa skills, modern PHP techniques, local development using containers and using GraphQL and Gatsby.js to build powerful, fast static sites.

Stay tuned, as we have dozens more speakers contact and announce over the next few weeks!
