This month, things have been moving fast. From international stages to brand-new pages on the site, here’s a quick recap of everything that’s been happening at PressConf HQ.

🎥 Live from CloudFest Europe

Raquel and Adam are currently at CloudFest Europe, representing PressConf and connecting with the broader WordPress community.

🎙️ 17 Speakers and Counting

The PressConf 2026 lineup is growing, and we’re excited to share that we now have 17 confirmed speakers, with more announcements on the way. These are leaders, founders, and builders from across the WordPress ecosystem, and each one brings something distinct to the program. Head over to our Speakers page to see who’s joining us this April.

📅 The Schedule Page is Live

You can now browse the full PressConf 2026 schedule on our Schedule page. We’ve put a lot of thought into the program, and there’s one new and exciting format in particular we’re introducing this year: Rage, Rant, and Rave, a new session style built for honest, unfiltered conversation. Take a look and start planning your days.

👥 Meet Your Fellow Attendees

The Attendees page is now live, and it’s one of our favorite parts of the pre-conference experience. PressConf is all about the people in the room, and this is your first chance to see who you’ll be rubbing elbows with in Tempe. Take a look, as there’s a good chance someone you’ve been meaning to meet is already on the list.

🎬 Speaker Interviews with The WP Minute

In collaboration with our media partners at The WP Minute, we’ve been publishing a series of interviews with PressConf 2026 speakers. It’s a great way to get to know the people behind the sessions before the event. Watch the full playlist on YouTube.

More updates are coming soon. April 8th is closer than it looks. 🌵
