This year, we have a special track of sessions dedicated to Gutenberg, the new editing experience! This project is the next step in editing content in WordPress, and is set to be released in WordPress 5.0. Head to some of these sessions to learn more about what this means for you.
First up, get introduced to Gutenberg by Tammie Lister, our keynote speaker, in The Gutenberg Journey, at 9am in the main ballroom.
There are also a few other Guten-talks – on Saturday morning in the Intro To WordPress track, Gary Thayer will help you Say “Guten Tag” to Gutenberg. Then on Sunday, you can learn about how to prepare your sites for Gutenberg, even if you’re running a network of university sites, from Brian DeConinck & Jennifer McFarland in GutenReady for the Gutenpocalypse.
