To tell us with a cautious hope
I have to admit that this year I am on my way with mixed feelings. Portland is a beautiful city, but the memory of last year and the sharp break of our community lingers. If someone who cares a lot about this ecosystem, The recent unpleasantness in WordPress is difficult to endure.
That said, I remain hopeful. Although ticket sales are noticeably lower this year, I believe that this week it has the potential to be a healing event for the American WordPress community. Wordcamp has always been about people who come together to share knowledge, connect and extend our collective energy for the work we do. I hope that this conference will be reminded of rebuilding trust, cooperation and the Spirit that WordPress has always made strong.
With that in mind I have viewed the schedule and selected the sessions that I want to attend the most. Here are some of them:
And of course I am looking forward to presenting my own session on Friday at 11.30 am PDT: Insured consultation: qualify and close the scope strategy and close. I will share a practical framework that helps agency owners to manage customer consultations more effectively and close more projects.
If you are not personally present, all sessions are available by Livestream (View all Livestream -Links here). And of course, if you want us personally, I would like to make contact with you!
