This past weekend, a community of passionate WordPressers came together in the sunny, beautiful city of Los Angeles. We couldn\u2019t have asked for better weather, vibes, and people in The City of Angels. Over 400 visitors from surrounding areas of LA came ready to absorb the rich knowledge of all things WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are so many things to love about WordCamp. The one thing that makes these events uniquely awesome is it\u2019s inclusion of different people of all backgrounds, skills, and interests. This made for a comfortable, safe environment to truly learn and explore the open-source world of WP. Huge shoutout to the speech-to-text reporters who were responsible for live captioning at each of the sessions. <\/span><\/p>\n

As Gutenberg will continue to be a major focus throughout the year, I thought it would be worth highlighting some of the interesting sessions focused on creativity and inclusion. <\/span><\/p>\n
