This past week, Mike Demo traveled to Hamilton in Ontario, Canada to attend WordCamp Hamilton. Rising early, we got everything set up and ready to go at the McMaster Innovation Park center. The morning started off with an excellent workshop from Brian Hogg, the creator of the Event Calendar Newsletter and The Events Calendar Shortcode. Brian shared how to create, maintain, as well as support a plugin for WordPress.org. Brian didn’t just focus on the technical details, but shared unique tips and techniques on how to make your plugin more popular. Mike shared a session about A/B testing and the importance of collecting data, allowing you to see if your website is converting leads and what could be increasing the bounce rate. He also shared his personal checklist for A/B tests and how to ensure that they perform properly not only on your own website, but also your clients’ websites.

The theme of the event really focused on giving you the power to choose what works best for you. Don’t assume the same plugin, theme, or the host is the absolute best. Find out what you need and then research and find what will work best for you and your website needs. WordCamp Hamilton focused on accessibility and inclusion bringing a very close group of attendees. This made the event special and as we reflect from the time spent with attendees and friends, we are thankful for ability to join so many talented individuals and companies.
