July 10, 2026 — Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster. This is as true today as it was in 1995 when windows, pop-up menus, and pretty icons were making it hard for people to freely type basic text documents. Our computers and networks are faster but we still struggle to type those documents. Increasing server density and the onslaught of AI demands only highlights the problem more: we have to do more with less.

WordPress is responding to this need with a family of streaming APIs for processing text, HTML, CSS, and Blocks. Streaming means being able to handle large documents in small chunks, or being able to process documents of any size within the same limited amount of resources. It also means being able to set arbitrary limits of time, latency, and robustness of processing.

Come see in this talk how to use these new APIs and which ones are coming next, why they are important and which values lead their design, and hopefully discover some new way to more capably interact with structured content on the server without blowing the budget.

Talk is intended for developers working with PHP, HTML, and/or blocks.

July 4, 2026 — The EU’s NIS2 directive—transposed into national law from 17 October 2024 onward—imposes tougher cyber-risk management, incident-reporting and supply-chain duties on “essential” and “important” entities. Although only a handful of member states met the deadline, enforcement pressure is already building in 2025, leaving many micro-agencies and solo WordPress professionals exposed. This talk demystifies NIS2 through a WordPress lens. We will translate the directive’s legalese into concrete, platform-specific steps: choosing maintained plugins, adopting least-privilege practices, hardening servers, documenting processes, and preparing 24-hour incident-notification playbooks. We will also tackle the often-ignored supply-chain clause, showing how to vet upstream themes, SaaS tools and hosting providers without a corporate budget. Presented byFrancesco Canovi
