WordPress has come a long way from its humble blogger beginnings. The official WordPress mission is to democratize publishing. But WordPress represents much more than just publishing. WordPress represents an alternative: An alternative to closed platforms, an alternative to centralized networks, and an alternative to behemoth corporations. It’s a free choice, an open choice, a responsible choice. It’s free for all to use, and free for you to make what you want of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, we’ll touch on:
– How did WordPress become what it is today?
– Is WordPress right for you?
– What can you\u00a0create with WordPress?
– How can WordPress help you grow your idea into something bigger?
– How do you give back to the WordPress community?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This keynote session is a rallying cry for creative freedom and opportunity. We’re going to look at how anyone can make something with WordPress. If you’re a new user, take this as inspiration to go forth and make your ideas a reality. If you’re an experienced developer, use this session to rethink your assumptions about what WordPress can and can’t do.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
