July 31, 2025 — This session aims to equip WordPress professionals with practical knowledge on how to make their workflows legally meaningful, trustworthy, and identity-aware. We’ll demonstrate how digital signing can be applied within WordPress environments, especially for developers working with clients in regulated or high-trust industries.

July 31, 2025 — Ever think about how simply showing up changes things within your WordPress community? Beyond the code, your voice, your experiences, even your presence, encourage others to step up. When you give back, you inspire others to do the same. You’re building more than websites, you’re building a community that builds you. You grow unexpectedly, all because you chose to be part of something bigger. Let’s talk about how showing up makes a difference, and how that difference shapes us all.

July 31, 2025 — Imagine a WordPress site that learns from its visitors—morphing its layout, content, and tone in real-time to resonate with everyone. In this topic, I will unveil how cutting-edge artificial intelligence can transform WordPress into a dynamic, empathetic platform that adapts to users’ needs, preferences, and even emotions.
I would like to demonstrate how AI tools (like GPT-4, sentiment analysis, and predictive analytics) can personalize user experiences ethically and accessibly. We can explore and learn how to:

Detect visitor intent in real-time (e.g., adjusting content complexity for neurodiverse users or simplifying navigation for seniors).
Automate A/B testing with AI to optimize layouts, CTAs, and media based on behavior.
Balance hyper-personalization with privacy, using anonymized data and GDPR-friendly techniques like federated learning.
I like to showcase the practical plugins, custom APIs, and no-code solutions to integrate AI into WordPress—without needing a data science degree. Plus, see a live demo where a site “rewires” itself based on audience input, proving how adaptive design can boost engagement, inclusivity, and conversions.
For developers, this talk offers a blueprint for future-proofing WordPress. For creators and businesses, it’s a masterclass in building sites that feel human. I will close with a bold vision: a decentralized AI ecosystem for WordPress, where open-source models empower niche communities—from e-commerce to special needs education—to craft deeply personalized web experiences.
Join my session to reimagine WordPress not just as a CMS, but as an AI-driven partner in understanding—and empowering—every visitor.

July 31, 2025 — Building WordPress plugins doesn’t have to feel like decoding alien technology.

Most WordPress users shy away from plugin development because, let’s be honest, coding can look scary. But guess what? With AI, creating plugins becomes as easy as ordering pizza online—and just as satisfying.

Think about how traditional plugin building goes: hours spent staring at screens, tons of confusing code, and endless “Oops, I broke it again” moments. Now picture having your own AI sidekick (minus the superhero costume, sadly) that guides you from brainstorming cool plugin features to writing crystal-clear technical plans and even helps you code step-by-step. Tools like ChatGPT o1 and Claude 3.7 turn your big ideas into simple, achievable tasks, while Cursor AI jumps right in to handle the tough coding parts. Say goodbye to frustration and hello to fun, because AI tools take care of the complex stuff, letting you proudly launch your first plugin faster than you can say, “Wow, I actually did it!”

In this *hopefully fun* session, you’ll see exactly how AI makes plugin-building beginner-friendly. I’ll share easy steps, tips to dodge rookie mistakes, and insights that’ll make you feel smarter than your coding friends (or at least let you pretend). You’ll leave knowing this one simple truth: AI makes building WordPress plugins doable, enjoyable, and totally achievable.

Ready to amaze yourself? Let’s do this—powered by AI.

July 31, 2025 — When designing websites, the longest and laborious step has always been the planning stage. Planning website layouts had always been a manual process of sketching before creating wireframes per section for each page. After much resistance to using AI, I was intrigued when Elementor launched their Site Planner. The first time I tried using it for a self-interest website, it was enough to convince me. Before AI, an average website of 5 pages, the wireframes would take me at least a whole week to complete. After AI, I managed to have 3 websites’ wireframes ready for respective clients within a week! For this talk, I’ll be sharing a case study of a non-profit website I managed to complete – from planning to launch – in a very short period of time.
