May 19, 2026 — WP Agentic Admin, is a privacy-first AI assistant for WordPress that runs entirely in the browser. No cloud APIs, no data leaving the device. Just a small language model running on your GPU, turning WordPress admin into a natural language command center. Marcel will demo and share how this project came to life during the Cloudfest Hackaton 2026.

May 19, 2026 — When people think about WordPress, they often focus on development, themes, plugins, and the professional ecosystem around it. But WordPress is much more than software. It is a vast open project powered by hundreds of volunteers who contribute in many different ways. In this session, we will explore the broader WordPress project and the free resources it offers: learning platforms, community support, media and photo directories, design resources, and opportunities to get involved. Whether you are a developer, designer, content creator, or simply curious, you will discover how WordPress goes far beyond code and how you can benefit from and contribute to its open ecosystem.

May 16, 2026 — The WordCamp Asia Contributor Day will be taking place on April 9, 2026! In preparation for the day, we’d like you to share ideas of what contributors at the Training Team table can get involved with that day. You can read our Preparing for a Flagship WordCamp Contributor Day handbook page to learn more about how the Training Team prepares for Flagship WordCamp Contributor Days.

May 14, 2026 — You launch a site for your client. You enable automatic updates and automated billing to boost your passive income. Before long, you realize that without monitoring, you’re taking on a slightly bigger risk than you’d like.

Downtime monitoring is the standard solution, but it doesn’t actually catch your biggest losses. Managing over 2,000 WordPress websites, we started developing a roadmap of 57 different monitoring solutions in 2025. I’d love to walk the audience through the most remarkable ones (otherwise we won’t make it in 20 minutes).

May 14, 2026 — Bespreken van concepten in Varnish die kunnen worden gebruikt om huidige implementaties een boost te geven.

May 14, 2026 — Many WordPress users face challenges when expanding into multiple languages: content duplication, SEO conflicts, and editorial confusion.

In this talk, I’ll clarify when a multisite setup is the smarter choice compared to plugin-based translation. Attendees will leave with a simple checklist, real-world examples, and best practices to build scalable, multilingual WordPress experiences especially suited for European clients with regional presence (e.g., .nl / .be / .de domains

May 14, 2026 — As a non-technical entrepreneur, I thought complex WordPress development was impossible for me. Then I discovered AI coding assistants like Claude.

In 6 months, I went from zero coding knowledge to building a sophisticated WordPress plugin with over 100k lines of code, 20+ PHP classes, React interfaces, and enterprise features used by hundreds of professionals around the world.

This talk shares my practical methodology for AI-assisted WordPress development – the mistakes, breakthroughs, and specific strategies that actually work. I’ll demonstrate how to break down complex projects, communicate effectively with AI tools, and ensure code quality without traditional programming knowledge.

Whether you’re a developer curious about AI acceleration or a non-technical person with big WordPress ideas, you’ll leave with actionable strategies for leveraging AI in your WordPress projects.

May 14, 2026 — Drawing inspiration from Symfony’s Live components, this API is built for speed, extensibility, and server-side rendering and is tailored to seamlessly integrate with the WordPress ecosystem.

Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a WordPress enthusiast, this talk will empower you to create dynamic, interactive user experiences with ease and clarity. Showcasing fresh new features in real-life examples during a live coding session, who knows what we might end up with by the end of it. But you’ll definitely want to build it yourself.

May 14, 2026 — Many people talk about automated tests and end-to-end testing. But once you try it, you realize it’s not that easy: those tests are time-consuming to create and maintain, QA engineers may lack coding expertise, and every major product change requires starting over!

AI has already transformed testing—LLMs excel at generating unit and integration tests from code, dramatically reducing boilerplate work for developers. However, end-to-end testing remained untouched until early 2025, when Model Context Protocol (MCP) allowed AI to control browsers directly. This breakthrough is particularly powerful for WordPress, facilitating sophisticated UI-based testing automation.

Drawing from months of experimentation at group.one (WP Rocket, RankMath, WP.one, Imagify), I’ll demonstrate how we leverage Playwright MCP to turn manual E2E testing into an AI-driven process.
