484 – Behind the scenes of PressConf: the business-focused WordPress event coming to Europe

Today the podcast focused on PressConf, an in-person event designed for business owners in the WordPress ecosystem, now making its European debut in Barcelona from October 27–30. We talked about how PressConf differentiates itself from WordCamps by providing a more intimate, curated experience, prioritising deep, honest business discussions and fostering genuine connections. We also got into the events origins as a resurrection of PressNomics, its intentional “hallway track” approach, strong agency focus, and the inclusion of a playful “Wonder Day” to balance intense sessions. The discussion explored hopes for future events and encouraged agency attendance.
