Five days out. WordCamp US is almost here. Here's what we're looking forward to in Phoenix: 🤝 Contributor Day, where the work actually happens and first-timers are genuinely welcome 💬 The Happiness Bar, staffed by people who will sit with your problem until it's solved 🏆 Showcase Day and seeing what folks have been quietly building all year 🎤 Talks and workshops across every level, from your first block theme to the deep end 🚶 The hallway track, which somehow always ends up being the best session 🎟️ Sponsor hall wandering, swag hunting, sticker collecting 🌮 Meetups, dinners, and the after-hours conversations that turn into next year's projects 👋 Meeting the people you've only ever known as a GitHub handle or a Slack avatar If it's your first WordCamp, say so. Someone will adopt you within the hour. See you Sunday!

Super excited about Showcase Day at WCUS in general this year for agencies. If you are an agency trying to level up how your team is using AI, I would strongly recommend attending our WordPress Studio Lunch & Learn. The annotate feature for client work is super slick. You chat with your client, they say what they want changed on a site while you are marking in real time what they are saying (I want this image to be bigger, this cta to be more prominent, etc.). You click a button and have the changes implemented immediately with AI under the hood that has deep context on WordPress and web accessibility best practices. If your client is happy with the changes, it’s one more button click to deploy to production. That’s a tiny example of what’s possible, and the team developing this internally will be there to unveil the next generation that unlocks even more for agencies and to train your team live. Here's a quick walkthrough: https://lnkd.in/g8DZV8z3 We want this to be hands-on and for our team to have the capacity to really dive into actual use cases with you, so comment "Studio" in the comments or DM me and I’ll send you the event info. #WCUS

Speaker spotlight time. 🔒 Robert Abela, founder and CEO of Melapress, is bringing one of the sharpest security sessions of the schedule to Phoenix. His talk digs into the attacks that never trip an alert, the ones that skip your login page entirely. Here's Robert on what to expect: "Most security advice assumes an attacker has to get past your login. But some of the most dangerous intrusions never touch it. In this session I'll show how session hijacking works, why your usual defenses miss it, and the practical steps to close the gap. If you run, build, or manage WordPress sites, this one's for you." Catch it live: The Attacker That Never Logged In: Session Hijacking, Stolen Cookies, and the Blind Spot in WordPress Security 📍 Honing Your Skills track, North 120CD See you at WordCamp US, Phoenix, Aug 16-19!

Robert Jacobi and Ma.tt Mullenweg will close WordCamp US 2026 with an open conversation about AI, the changing web, and what comes next for open source and WordPress. Attendees will have the final 30 minutes to ask questions. Join the session in Phoenix on August 19 at 23:00 UTC. https://wp.me/pgSBpQ-25t #WCUS
