Video: Matt Mullenweg & Om Malik Q&A at #WCEU 2014

From empowering women to the advice for european companies to stop comparing themselves to US companies and the 5% rule of thumb for companies who use WordPress on giving back to core to ensure the future of WordPress, Matt Mullenweg’s Q&A session at WordCamp Europe sparked a lot of discussions.

How to decide what talks to see

We’ve got a great schedule and amazing speakers at WordCamp Europe this year. Since most of the presentation titles are somewhat creative we figured we’d help you out a bit here.

So how to decide what to see?

We know presentation titles can be a little vague and since we don’t have two separate tracks this year we decided to have a colour coded schedule to make it easier for you to decide what to see.

We hope this helps!

WCEU 2014 Speakers: Noel Tock

Howdy, WordCampers!

Meet our next speaker – designer, product manager and world traveller Noel Tock.

Noel is a Swiss nomad wandering the globe. He’s one of the owners at Human Made, a WordPress.com VIP partner, where he heads up Product Development. If he’s not working on product design, he’s having a gin and tonic. Or more recently, both.

After his talk Less is more: The Journey of Happytables as a WordPress Saas at last year’s WordCamp Europe, Noel is coming to Sofia to share some of his insights on productivity, improving yourself within the WordPress industry and working on things you enjoy.

This talk will be a practical guide to doing more with WordPress; developing yourself to work on things that matter, getting in the habit of shipping and finally contributing back to this great open source project. I chose this area because I’d like to see freelancers/agencies in Europe do more with WordPress.

Keep up with WordCamp Europe developments on  TwitterFacebook, and Google + . 

WCEU 2014 Speakers: Jenny Beaumont

We’re happy to announce that next on the WordCamp Europe speaker list is designer, project manager and WordPress expert Jenny Beaumont from France.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Jenny moved to France in 1998 where she launched her career with the creation of her first web agency, Global Native. Equipped with a degree in Journalism and strong management experience, she quickly transposed her skill set to the emerging field of web design.

In 2000 she went freelance, and after spending time in project management, graphic design, Flash animation and UI design, has more recently oriented her work toward front-end development. In 2009 Jenny made the definitive switch to WordPress and started building custom themes for her clients to give them greater autonomy over their content.

An active member of the WordPress community in France and abroad, Jenny was a speaker at WordCamp Paris and at WordCamp Switzerland earlier this year.

Her talk at WordCamp Europe 2014 will deal with the eternal topic of Client Relationships, so for every designer, developer or project manager out there that does client work, make sure you save a slot in your WCEU Schedule for what Jenny has to share.

Stay tuned to WordCamp Europe on  TwitterFacebook, and Google +  for more announcements.
