The world of WordPress can be pretty turbulent at times. From major players leaving the community, to hefty mergers and acquisitions, and tech giants such as Google wanting a slice of the action; there’s plenty going on to get fired up about. But how do these big industry changes affect our local communities?
In this session, David will be discussing the possible implications of industry and technology pressures, including:
- How recent acquisitions will impact freelance developers
- What opportunities are available to the local community now the tech giants are interested in WordPress
- Will the advent of Gutenberg spell danger for other page builders
- And beyond the WordPress community: how will other political and environmental issues change our digital communities?
Within the next few years the way we work will have totally changed; this talk is for anyone in the WordPress community who’s excited or scared about it!
