January 2, 2026 — Open-source thrives when fresh perspectives and diverse voices join the community, and students are one of the most powerful groups to lead that charge. In this talk, I will explore how academic institutions and student communities can bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world impact by contributing to WordPress and other open-source projects. Drawing from my own experience engaging with students and faculty, I will share strategies for introducing open-source in educational settings, addressing common challenges, and creating pathways for students to contribute meaningfully even without deep technical expertise.
Attendees will learn how open-source involvement can enhance students’ skills, boost employability, and foster leadership, while also empowering institutions to create a culture of innovation and collaboration. This session will highlight actionable steps to build sustainable student engagement and demonstrate why empowering students as contributors is key to the long-term growth of the WordPress ecosystem. I will also include the story of organizing WordPress Campus Connect Dhaka 2025 with 20 partner campuses and 2000+ students over a month-long event in multiple campuses.

January 2, 2026 — Every WordPress freelancer knows the drill:
– Same updates every week.
– Same SEO checks.
– Same performance tweaks.
– Same WooCommerce settings across different clients.
What if you could hand these repetitive tasks to an AI that actually clicks through wp-admin for you?
Meet computer-use agents—AI assistants that can see your screen, navigate WordPress, and execute your exact workflows.
Think of them as tireless junior developers who follow your playbook perfectly, create backups before touching anything, and document every single change.
During this talk, you’ll witness the magic firsthand:
– Watch an AI build a WooCommerce store from zero to checkout-ready
– See it handle plugin updates, detect conflicts, and automatically roll back when needed
– Observe as it perform SEO audits and implement fixes across your entire site
– Learn how simple prompts become powerful automation workflows
The breakthrough?
You don’t need technical skills.
These agents work from plain English checklists—the same ones you probably already use.
I’ll show you how to transform your WordPress routines into automated playbooks with built-in safety nets.
Whether you’re a solo freelancer juggling ten client sites or an agency owner trying to standardize operations, this session will revolutionize how you think about WordPress management.
You’ll leave with ready-to-use automation templates, a safety-first workflow that protects production sites, and the confidence to delegate 80% of your repetitive tasks to AI.
Your weekends are about to get a lot more free.
