Our first speakers are announced!

We’re happy to announce that our first three speakers are confirmed for this September!

Dougal Campbell (pictured to your left) will be returning for his third WordCamp in Birmingham, serving as our opening keynote for our first year back in 2008. He plans to talk about the downsides of a certain popular project.

Sara Cannon presented last year and has since presented at WordCamps in Atlanta and we’ll be able to say after next week, Savannah. She’ll be exploring the world of advanced web typography.

Syed Balkhi will be making his first appearance here in Birmingham. The founder of WPBeginner will be talking about ways to boost your WordPress site’s speed and performance.

We’re excited that they’ll be joining us on September 18 and we’re looking forward to announcing more names in the coming days – stay tuned!
