In addition to keynote presentations from WP Engine Chairwoman and CEO Heather Brunner<\/a>, WP Engine COO Jason Teichman<\/a>, WP Engine Founder and CTO Jason Cohen<\/a>, and Girls Who Code<\/a> Founder Reshma Saujani<\/a>, the agenda for Summit\/2021 was filled with great breakout sessions that attendees have been raving about. Here\u2019s a quick look at a few:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headless 101 \u2013 Everything You Wanted to Know and More!<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Headless architecture is growing in popularity, due in no small part to the flexibility and speed to market it can provide large-scale businesses. According to recent research<\/a>, 64% of enterprise organizations are currently using a headless approach, representing a nearly 25% increase from 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improving Your Site With a Real-Time Core Web Vitals View<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Core Web Vitals<\/a> are a set of metrics aimed at providing unified guidance for website performance related to user experience. As Google\u2019s page experience update<\/a> rolls out over the coming months, these metrics will redefine the way websites are measured and ranked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021, WP Engine\u2019s own Web Marketing team undertook the major project of understanding and achieving >90% scores across all Core Web Vitals metrics. In this session, experts from WP Engine and New Relic<\/a> explain how to use real user data to overcome the limitations of synthetic tests, allowing you to better understand the impact Core Web Vitals will have on your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How WordPress is Enterprise Grade<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As the world accelerates to digital, many enterprise organizations are reimagining their digital experiences. Traditionally, large-scale businesses have defaulted when it comes to powering their digital footprint, using expensive, proprietary solutions that ultimately lead to slower time to market and processes that are costly when changes need to be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress is increasingly being seen as the solution for enterprise agility, and it’s taking market share away<\/a> from proprietary solutions because of its ability to deliver enterprise-grade experiences at scale. In this excellent session, you\u2019ll hear directly from experts at WP Engine and Kanopi Studios<\/a> as they discuss how they\u2019ve leveraged WordPress to meet the demands of, and deliver to, their enterprise clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
