We went to PressConf

For us, PressConf was more than an event. It was a turning point. We came back with more than new business opportunities and insights.

Featuring Mark Weisbrod and Sandra Kurze from GREYD, on cards announcing their attendance at PressConf 2025 in Tempe, Arizona.

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.

Recap

Both Mark and I have shared our personal takeaways in separate posts on LinkedIn, with more behind-the-scenes impressions:

Sandra is absolutely passionate about copywriting – preferably, of course, on topics that also captivate her in terms of content. She has been involved with websites and online marketing for several years – both from a service provider and customer perspective. The perfect prerequisites for the Greyd blog!
