WordCamp for Publishers is a community-organized event bringing together folks who use WordPress to manage publications, big or small. Our goal is to empower participants by coaching them on best practices and encourage collaboration in building open source tools for publishers. Anyone who actively manages a publication with WordPress will benefit from attending.
Schedule
Our schedule is up now and includes speakers from national media organizations, smaller publications, and agencies that work with media companies.
This year’s schedule features:
- A hands-on workshop on security training in newsrooms
- Two sessions on bringing Gutenberg to editorial teams
- An in-depth guide to creating robust newsletters
- Lightning presentations on Newspack, managing site networks, and paywalls
What You Can Expect
We’ll have a main track of talks and panels that are 45 minutes each as well as a separate track of 90 minute in-depth workshops centered around topics that aim to provide actionable takeaways for publishers to take home. There will also be openings for our popular unconference sessions which attendees can self-organize at the event based on interest.
For folks that prefer the hallway track, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect with people from top media organizations. Take a look at our sponsors and make sure to say hello and grab some swag!
Social Activities
Of course, we also offer many opportunities for socializing outside of the conference at WordCamp for Publishers. We’ve arranged several events, including an evening of fun and games at Two Dollar Radio Headquarters and an outing to a Columbus Clippers game.
If you’re able to stick around all three days, there’s also a Mentorship Day on Friday where we’ll group folks by topic and introduce speed mentorship rounds for attendees to connect with each other. This is a great opportunity for attendees to lend their expertise and learn from other talented folks attending the event.
