Event Recap: WordCamp Europe

Last week, our team had the privilege to travel to Belgrade, Serbia for the 2018 WordCamp Europe event. After arriving and getting settled in, we traveled over to the Sava Centar, where we were able to setup our booth and start to connect with friends in the WordPress community.The event started off with an excellent Q&A session by Matt Mullenweg. The session provided valuable information about the overall vision and direction of the WordPress community. Matt shared special announcements, such as the location of the next US WordCamps, future WordPress versions and much more. This information gives BoldGrid the ability to keep on top of the most important news and developments so we can provide the best updates for you.

Aaron Campbell, a long-time friend of BoldGrid, provided an interesting look at how to succeed in a large social community like WordPress. He shared how extroverts can join the social community and introverts can thrive without having to feel the pressure of the extroverted world. BoldGrid understands this and values the abilities of both extroverts and introverts.

"Introvert and extrovert brains are different. They are physically measurably different. One is not better than the other, one is not superior to the other in any way. The just function differently." – @aaroncampbell #WCEU pic.twitter.com/xjcvvxOVYm
