Looking for the good things during bad times has become one of my survival tactics. Finding the good in bad situations – like looking for a phoenix rising from the ashes – has often helped me stay positive when it felt like the world was burning.

2020 felt a lot like that. From a global pandemic to murder hornets, to event cancelations, and personal struggles, 2020 was a difficult year for many, if not most, of us.

We pivoted so much and so often it felt like we were constantly reinventing ourselves, our businesses, and our community.

So what good things did I find in 2020? I discovered a deeper love for WordPress – and the WordPress community – that I ever imagined.

Join me as I share the good things that have come from a trying time, and how I think we can move forward in a globally-positive way.

Are you an agency that has a client who’s WordPress project is just never done? Are you an entrepreneur who hasn’t launch yet because the site just isn’t ready yet?

You’re not alone! Adrian has seen businesses struggle with launching every single day – in communities, clients, and basically everywhere..

After working with thousands of businesses over the last 6 years, and growing my own list of successful WordPress projects, he has uncovered consistent patterns and roadblocks both practical and psychological that prevent small businesses from launching on time and seeing positive results.

In this session Adrian will share with you the top 3 reasons why projects fail to launch and how to overcome them so you can get your next WordPress project launched in 90 days or less, guaranteed.

In this talk, I will explain how the WordPress TV team works, from collecting the videos from organizers to final publishing on https://wordpress.tv/ and explain the criteria the TV team uses to approve and rejects the videos. 

Since the launch of Gutenberg, we have been enjoying the great experience of Gutenberg. So far we have been able to take benefit of the WYSIWYG – ‘What You See Is What You Get’, inside the post editor. What would it be like to use Gutenberg outside the editor? Would the traditional admin screens like customizer still exist?

WordPress is moving full steam ahead to land full site editing in 2021. What does it mean for end users and theme authors?

In this talk you will learn about what are Block based themes and how you would be able to use the features like Nav menus and widgets outside of post-editing screen. This talk will give you the taste of not only using the Block Based Theme but also a quick demo of how you can build one so easily.
You will know how the power to decide what the front end of the site will look like will ultimately reside in the user’s hands.
