February 18, 2018 — Come one, come all! Grab a cup of coffee and join Automatticians Konstantin Obenland and Michael Cain for a morning show-style WordCamp talk that’s buckets o’fun for anyone and everyone. We’ll break the session into three segments: news from around the WordPress world; a special guest interview with a WordPress “celebrity”; and a “shop talk” segment about a design or development topic that we’re hoping to learn more about by pretending to be experts in front of you, our audience. There will be laughter (hopefully?), there will be tears (regrettably?), there will even be some awkward silences (definitely). But most importantly, there will be plenty of that whole-grained, balanced-diet WordPress that you just can’t get enough of.

August 2, 2016 — Cain & Obenland in the Morning! is a morning talk show-style WordCamp session aimed to kick-off WordCamps with interesting, current, and informative WordPress topics… and a little bit of lighthearted fun.

Our sessions are broken into three parts: The WordPress Not-Nightly News (news and current events from around the community); a special guest interview (a Q&A introduction to a bigger name attendee/speaker – what do you do?/how’d you get started?/etc.); a current, introductory-intermediate design or development topic (i.e. internationalization, security best practices, theming, etc.).

August 5, 2015 — Theme security is an intimidating topic for both new and experienced developers but ignoring the issue will make you a target and leave your site vulnerable to attacks. In this talk you’ll learn theme security best practices, the common types of attacks, and many of the functions that WordPress and PHP provide to keep your site safe.
