| Speaker | Title | Abstract |
| Giuseppe Mazzapica, Inpsyde | WordPress Multisite for large and high traffic multilingual websites | Starting from a comparative overview of the various approaches to multilingual WordPress websites, the presentation will focus on the usage of Multisite for the scope, documenting Inpsyde’s experience with the multilingual-via-multisite approach and the benefit it brings for large, high-traffic websites in terms of performance, flexibility and “vendor lock-in” avoidance. |
| Gabe Karp, 10up | Rebuilding NobelPrize.org | Built in 1994, NobelPrize.org was one of the very first websites powered by a MySQL database. More than 20 years later, VIP agency partner 10up led a project to modernise the site, and bring a modern editorial workflow to the Nobel Digital team, whilst preserving the flexibility of that original build. 10up’s Gabe Karp will describe the creative and technical transformation behind the new site. |
Joel Davis, News UK | How we won the World Cup | With the first major football tournament since we launched the Sun website on WordPress this was the ideal excuse to launch a new, innovative destination page. From the proof of concept to delivery in a few months. |
| Jason Agnew, Big Bite Creative | Using Gutenberg in Production | Jason is going to discuss his recent experiences of using Gutenberg with two enterprise projects – one for the largest bank in Europe and the other for the world-impacting Amnesty International. The Gutenberg journey hasn’t been without its issues, so Jason is going to explore the impact of the new editor, including how Big Bite are using Gutenberg, how the team tackled training, and how they price new projects which require blocks. |
