This is the ultimate gathering for designers

This round of WooConf an "developers gathering." We'd like to quickly explain what that means to those of you.

Anyone who runs their business using WooConf will appreciate WooConf. But, we're building out this year's speaker list and workshop schedule to cater to agency workers, freelancers WooExperts as well as other developers working with every day.

This includes anyone writing code, designing websites and working with customers in the capacity of a project manager or an owner of a business. It also includes those of those who create, modify, and write code for your own online store (or provide your expertise to friends at any time).

If your agency collaborates with WooConf is an obvious choice. There isn't a high concentration of expertise anywhere else in the world, at any time.

We're sure you'll discover some value from this conference, regardless of the method you're using it . However, we're aware that many people are "hands-on," so we've made these changes to deliver an experience you'll find truly beneficial.
