WordCamp Brisbane 2018 Recap

Last month I attended WordCamp Brisbane 2018, my second WordCamp for 2018 after attending WordCamp Sydney earlier this year. WordCamps are informal, community-organised events which are heavily subsidised (think $50 tickets for 2 days of sessions and meals, including the after party!) thanks to the conference sponsors, making them very accessible for attendees.

I was fortunate to be selected to speak at WordCamp Brisbane 2018 and gave a presentation on WooCommerce REST API Integration, which included some details on version 3 of the WooCommerce REST API that was released the week of the conference. You can get a copy of my slides here and the videos from the conference are already available on YouTube and will shortly be available on WordPress.tv.

Once my presentation was over I was able to relax a bit more and enjoy attending the sessions. I tried to cover a wide range of WordPress related topics including podcasting, security and copywriting, as well as the sessions covering the upcoming WordPress v5.0 and the new Gutenberg editor.

Like WordCamp Sydney I learnt a lot and made lots of new friends in the WordPress community – a big thanks to all the organisers, sponsors, volunteers and speakers for making it happen and producing such a well run conference.
