Eighteen years ago, in August 2008, a small group met in London to talk about WordPress. We haven’t stopped since. This month we’re putting the talks aside and marking the occasion properly with the #WPLDN Summer Social: the return of the WordPress Pub Quiz, the Golden Ticket draw, and a room full of the people who’ve made this community what it is. Come for the quiz, stay for the company.
Join us for the 150th #WPLDN event. One hundred and fifty evenings of free, community-driven WordPress talks feels worth marking, so we’re doing it with three sessions rather than the usual two. We’re covering whether WordPress dropdown menus can ever be truly accessible, the business case for understanding why you do what you do, and what happens to your site when the visitor is an AI agent rather than a person.
Join us for our 150th #WPLDN event! It’s a milestone we’re quietly proud of: 150 free, community-driven WordPress-focused events, and we’d love to share this one with you. This month, we’re looking at WordPress from two very different but complementary angles. First, Raquel Manriquez asks the question most of us avoid: Who are you really, and why does owning that answer make you a steadier, sharper business owner? Then Paul Halfpenny digs into what WordPress … Continue reading
Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we’re tackling two of the more practical conversations happening in WordPress right now. First up, the migration question: how do you move thousands of legacy ACF Flexible Content posts into the block editor without losing your weekend? Then we’re shifting gears to security, with a live interview exploring how AI is reshaping both sides of the WordPress security landscape.
This month, Louise Towler shares what AI actually looks like inside a WordPress agency, day to day. We’ll follow that with a hosted, room-wide discussion on levelling up in WordPress, what the wider shift happening around us means for the work, and what it asks of us as a community. Two sessions, both grounded in the world WordPress competes in, rather than the world inside it.
Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we’re tackling two vital topics for every WordPress professional! This month, we’re exploring the future of WordPress accessibility documentation and hearing a candid story of business survival when AI disrupted traditional traffic sources. Whether you’re building inclusive websites or rethinking your business model in the age of AI, these sessions offer practical insights you can act on immediately.
Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we’re diving into the heart of what makes WordPress possible and exploring how organisations protect access to information when it matters most. This month features a fascinating combination: understanding how hosting companies invest back into the open-source ecosystem, and a rare, unrecorded session on keeping websites accessible under challenging circumstances. Two talks that remind us why community and resilience sit at the core of everything we do.
Join us for the last formal #WPLDN of 2025, where we’re diving into two essential topics that matter to every WordPress professional! This month, we’re exploring the accessibility landscape of HTML5 semantic elements and the often-overlooked business realities of freelancing.
October brings our annual tradition: Tim Nash returns to spread WordPress horror stories just in time for Halloween. But this year, we’re also introducing something brand new – Open Topics, our democratic discussion format where YOU set the agenda. Get ready for an evening of cautionary tales, robust debate, and plenty of post-event socialising to recover from both!
