Two groups. Two tracks. Same energy 🚀🙌 WonderDay at PressConf 2026 took us from autonomous rides in Waymo to the playgrounds: golf for some, go-karting for others. A little competition, a few winner’s cups, and a lot of fun to close out our time together the right way. #PressConf2026 #WonderDay

After a full day of talks and sessions, we took it outside. 🌵 The After-Party at #PressConf2026 was exactly what it needed to be. We took time to decompress, debrief, and continue the conversations on the terrace, with a drink in hand. We're going to miss this. #PressConf #AfterParty

AI-first isn't a buzzword — it's a culture shift. 🤖 Brent Weaver took the #PressConf2026 stage with a clear roadmap for how a 300+ person agency is building that culture from the inside out. The future belongs to the teams who start now.

It is highly likely that these are some of our bravest guest speakers to come on stage at #PressConf2026. Emma Young, Bryce Adams and Robert Jacobi went all in on our new talk format this year called 'Rage, Rant and Rave'. You would have had to been in the room to grasp the full concept 😮‍💨

Jonathan Buford delivered one of the most grounding talks at #PressConf2026: a honest look at what it really means to build a business with purpose. Hint: it starts with your people. 🙌

None of this happens without our sponsors. 🙌 They were in the room, in the conversations, and in the moments that made this week what it was. They showed up, engaged, and made the spaces between sessions just as valuable as the sessions themselves. #PressConf2026 #WordPress

Grief doesn't always stop you in your tracks — sometimes it's just a rock in your shoe.🪨 Lindsey Miller brought one of the most quietly powerful moments of #PressConf2026, weaving her own personal losses into a reflection on what the WordPress community has been going through too.

With great power comes great responsibility — and great conversation. 🔥 Christian Dawson and Soeren von Varchmin sat down at #PressConf2026 to talk about how the internet infrastructure community found its voice, and what it's saying. #PressConf #WordPress #WPcommunity

Last night's rooftop dinner was exactly what we needed after a full day of big ideas. 🌆 An intimate setting, great company, and conversations that picked up right where the sessions left off. A huge thank you to Monarx and WebPros for making it happen. 🙏 #PressConf2026 #WordPress #WPcommunity

The future of web agencies is coming — ready or not. 🚀 Vito Peleg took the #PressConf2026 stage to paint a picture of what an agentic web agency actually looks like at unlimited scale. And with that we conclude today's sessions 👏 #PressConf #WordPress #WPcommunity

"Spiritual Successor—?" 👀 @mattcromwell.bsky.social , @matthewmedeiros.bsky.social and @karks.com tried to answer the question during our last panel today at #PressConf2026. #PressConf #WordPress #WPcommunity

43% of the web runs on WordPress — and yet, WordPress has an identity crisis. 🪞 Anthony Ferrara named it out loud at #PressConf2026 and opened the floor for a conversation that's long overdue. #PressConf #WordPress #WPcommunity
