December 19, 2019 — As developers, we are capable of many amazing feats. We can create experiences that touch the lives of millions, brings aid to the corners of the world, empowers new businesses and bring a voice to the voiceless. WordPress powers over 30% of the entire web! However with this capability, we must also take on the responsibility for the people, and data, we interact with.

During this session, we’ll discuss how a culture of security can benefit not only your organization but also protect your end users and yes even the world. We’ll look at the ethics of privacy, secure web design and architecture, and the impact our decisions have on the community and our users. Mixed in will be best practices for secure coding, how to manage sensitive data from clients and users, compliance with various regulations and laws around privacy, and how to foster a culture of security even while you manage distributed teams. I’ll share my experiences from almost a decade in Open Source and some of the mistakes and successes I’ve had along the way.

Most of all, as WordPress continues to empower more and more of our digital world, it is up to us to decide as a community how we will use this influence and together we can work to make the world a better and safer place for people no matter where they come from.

December 19, 2019 — The days of static website content are dead. Creating dynamic content should be a cornerstone of any good digital marketing strategy. The content you produce not only draws potential customers in, it shows leadership in your industry, not to mention the SEO benefits associated with it.

The need for content production goes deeper than having something to post on your blog, Facebook, or Twitter that week. It’s about strategizing with your entire team to make sure the content you produce supports your product or service and provides real value to your online audience.

In order to work with a team, you need a solid content process in place. Moreso, you need to create company culture that includes content creation.

In this talk, we will cover the following topics:
– The Importance of Regular New Content
– Setting up a Process
– Getting your Team Invested through Company Culture
– Re-Adjusting your Process to Fit your Team
– Reporting to your Team

Attendees can expect to learn the value of good content, how to create a company culture that includes content creation as a team, and setting up a process for content creation that fits your team’s workflow.

December 19, 2019 — Speed matters. People are impatient. If your website or a client’s website doesn’t load quickly – within a just a couple of seconds – many visitors will abandon it completely. A slow site means lost time & revenue. But figuring out how to speed up a slow site can be HARD. Everyone’s got a suggestion and an idea for how to fix your performance issues, but most are just guesses, and not based on real data. STOP GUESSING. If you have a performance issue, or just want a faster site, you need to KNOW exactly what is slowing things down, and how to fix it. This talk will show you how.

December 19, 2019 — There are countless examples of how simple changes have made a dramatic improvement in website performance. Website owners have found that changing the wording on their “add to cart” buttons can increase sales by 30% or even more. Simply changing the imagery or messaging in your hero area has increased online leads by over 100%. You’ll never “guess” your way into a high performing website, you need to run tests and see what performs better. This may sound hard, but it’s really not. In this talk I’ll show you how to start your first and second A/B test. An A/B test is where you test two different variations of the same page. While this may sound complicated it can be done in minutes and without any custom programming through a free tool called Google Optimize.

December 19, 2019 — あらゆることができると言っても過言ではないWordPress。
ひとつだけネックなのが、制作者ではない、一般のお客様自身が更新する部分でした。
従来のエディタでは、画像を横に並べたりするだけでも難しい。
リッチな装飾にする場合はプラグインを入れて「ショートコード」を利用することがほとんど。
お客様にとって決してわかりやすいとは言えない方法で、非常にもどかしい思いをしていました。
Gutenbergの登場で様々なことができるようになったものの、最初はまだ使いづらい部分も多かったためか、まだまだ導入されていないことが多いようです。

そこで、現在ブロックエディタを使用してどんなふうにサイトを運用しているのか、実例を交えながらお話しします。

・ブロックエディタの基本的な使い方や便利な機能
・ここはちょっとまだ難しいというところ
・ブロックエディタをより使いやすくする方法と便利なプラグイン
・「制作者」ではない方たちにどう使ってもらっているのか

このような内容でお送りします。
プログラムが書けないデザイナーでもできる内容ばかりです！

December 19, 2019 — 人間の社会活動（経済、行政、教育など）と切っても切れない関係にあるのが地理情報です。地理情報を分析・加工してわかりやすく表示することは、ビジネス上のアドバンテージを見出したり、効果のある公共施策を打ち出したりするためにとても有効な手段になります。地理情報をコンピューターで扱うためのシステムは GIS （Geographic Information System 地理情報システム）と呼ばれます。
このセッションでは、 Geolonia が公開しているサービスやオープンソースのライブラリと WordPress のパブリッシング機能を組み合わせて GIS として使うことについて話します。
