Service (to our clients, our colleagues, and our communities) is one of 10up’s core values, and one way we see that value made concrete is in sponsoring and speaking at various conferences connected to WordPress, content publishing, and generally making the web a better place.

This fall has been especially busy – so much so we’ve neglected to share updates here.

Upcoming:

Gabe Karp, 10up’s Business Director in Europe, will be speaking next week at Web Summit 2017 in Lisbon. The “largest tech conference in the world,” WebSummit brings 25 different conferences together in one physical space over 4 days. Gabe will be part of a Marketing Technology panel in the Growth Summit track on Nov. 7th

10up is excited to sponsor Klein News Innovation Camp (formerly Barcamp News Innovation), an open, unconference style event being held at Temple University in Philadelphia on November 4th, focused on the future of news and how we can improve communities and conversations across the web. I’m looking forward to participating personally – let me know on twitter (@jeckman) if you’ll be there as well.

We will also be sponsoring WordCamp Seattle (November 4th-5th 2017). VP of Client Strategy Grant Landram and Director of Systems Engineering Zach Brown will be there along with a number of our pacific northwest area clients and colleagues, and would love to meet people interested in working with or for 10up.

Our VP of Engineering, Vasken Hauri, will be speaking that same weekend at WordCamp Riverside, on the ways ElasticPress can be used to improve WordPress site performance and functionality, in “ElasticPress: It’s More Than Just Search!”

Web Engineer Ivan Kristianto is the lead organizer of WordCamp Jakarta – also November 4th – and Web Engineer Dreb Bits will be speaking on what it means to use WordPress as a “headless” CMS. Check out their Wapuu, Wapuu Ondel-Ondel:
