Typically there will be a broad selection of subjects aimed at all levels of WordPress knowledge and experience, following the inclusivity ethos we firmly believe in. We run multiple talks at the same time and split them into \u2018tracks\u2019, so you\u2019ll see references to \u2018track 1\u2019 and \u2018track 2\u2019; this helps everyone navigate the schedule!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the talks and the chance to chat with other members of the WordPress community, we have a large number of sponsors who you can meet and talk to &#8211; from very large companies right through to smaller niche ones.
