April 9, 2024 — Witness the convergence of WordPress and enterprise innovation, where digital frontiers are pushed and customer experiences soar to new heights!

WordPress, a powerful open-source platform, offers enterprise companies a unique opportunity to enhance their agility and deliver exceptional digital experiences for their customers. This panel discussion will focus on strategies for fostering greater enterprise adoption of WordPress, thereby unlocking investments that can fuel ecosystem growth. By addressing barriers, identifying opportunities, and outlining future steps, the panel will contribute to closing the gap between WordPress’s platform potential and the needs of enterprise customers. This, in turn, will create a virtuous cycle of growth for the WordPress community and enterprise WordPress as a whole.

September 29, 2023 — Join us for a comprehensive and engaging panel discussion at this year’s WordCamp as we delve into the world of performance optimization in WordPress. Our panelists, representing a diverse range of experience and expertise from site owners to plugin developers to core contributors, will share their insights and thoughts about website speed and overall performance and user experience.

During the panel, we will discuss the common challenges faced when it comes to performance optimization, and how to overcome them. Our panelists will also discuss why performance is critical for a good user experience, and how it can impact the success of a website.

Panelists will discuss the tools and best practices they follow when optimizing performance. We will also discuss how to handle performance challenges specific to different areas, how to balance features vs. their performance impact, and ideas for how we might leverage Gutenberg and Site Editing to improve WordPress performance in the future.

Join us and learn what it takes to take your website or product performance to the next level!

March 19, 2020 — My WordPress journey started with small projects, with total budgets under $100. Nine years later, we have grown to reach the other end of the spectrum, regularly handling Enterprise WordPress projects with budgets of over $100K per year. At this scale, the rules for “selling” WordPress to a client change.

WordPress’ traditional advantages don’t necessarily apply anymore. I will start by addressing the two largest apprehensions that enterprises have- security & scalability- and cover other pain points like:

– Integration with existing systems
– Ownership and responsibility
– Extensibility and long term viability
– “Free” and “GPL” concerns

I hope the lessons I share in this talk from our own learning will help increase the WordPress adoption in enterprises.
