An Early Look at the 2019 WP Engine Summit

Developers, marketers, and technologists will head to Austin in June for the annual WP Engine Digital Breakthrough Summit. This event brings together some of the most prominent marketers and innovative thinkers who use WordPress for two days of knowledge, collaboration, and networking. Last year’s summit was chock-full of cutting-edge topics including AI, voice technology, AMP, and PWA, and attendees were able to get up-to-date on the latest digital trends while finding inspiration for creating their own digital breakthroughs.

WP Engine has expanded considerably over the last year. We’ve grown our customer base, strengthened our agency program, and added to our technology partnerships, all of which translates into a bigger and better summit experience for our attendees. This year you can expect deep dives from some of the world’s most sought-after digital experts across the agency, developer, and marketing spaces, as well as inspiration from outside the traditional technology realm. Check out some of the speakers, sessions, and topics we’re most excited for.
