Most events give you business cards and bullet points. PressConf gave us real conversations, raw emotion, and lasting value.
We’ve been to our fair share of industry events. From bustling WordCamps to massive gatherings like CloudFest and Web Summit. Each has its value, but we’ve often felt something was missing: an event where real conversations could happen, beyond the noise, with people who shape the WordPress ecosystem.
For us, PressConf was more than an event. It was a turning point. It gave us space to build deeper partnerships, reflect on our own journey, and connect with others who are navigating similar challenges. It was real, it was raw, and yes, it was incredibly valuable.
We’ll be back.
