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.
We have the video from the session up and running for all of those, who couldn’t make WordCamp Europe 2014.
Enjoy and let’s talk about it.
We’re short on words after these amazing three days, but here are the first pictures from our amazing photographers Vladimir Kaladan Petkov and Margarit Ralev.
They say enough.
Make sure you also check out the fantastic #WCEU galleries from Tammie Lister and Karin Christen.

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!
Love,
The org team
Updated: Sep 19th: There are a limited number of tickets available. Head to https://2014.europe.wordcamp.org/tickets/ to get yours.
All the tickets are gone. WordCamp Europe 2014 is sold out.
Well done, guys, you rock!
What is that now? You didn’t manage to get a ticket? Well we knew that would happen, we spent the last few weeks warning you about it on Twitter.
Ok, ok, don’t panic. There might be a chance we can still get you in.
Cheers!

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 Twitter, Facebook, and Google + .
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 Twitter, Facebook, and Google + for more announcements.
Give a warm welcome to our next WordCamp Europe 2014 speaker – WordPress developer, SEO & and an Open Source expert Joost de Valk.
Working with WordPress since 2006, Joost has a 10 year background in online marketing, more specifically SEO, and has always combined his knowledge of the two. Yoast, which he founded, has grown from a one-man-band to a 16 people agency over the last 3 years, focussing on both reviewing and improving websites as well as building free & premium plugins. His WordPress SEO and Google Analytics plugins are consistently among the highest rated and most downloaded plugins available for WordPress.
Joost was one of our most popular speakers at WordCamp Europe 2013. Watch his talk The Victory of the Commons and stay tuned for details on his talk in Sofia.
Hey folks!
We’re adding another lead #WordPress developer to the list of WordCamp Europe 2014 speakers.
Mark Jaquith has been working with and contributing to WordPress since 2004. He is one of the lead developers of the WordPress core and offers freelance WordPress consulting services through Covered Web Services with a focus on scaling, security, and custom functionality.

He eagerly looks forward to shooting down your feature suggestions with, “No, but it would make a great plugin!”
