Launched in 2015, Loopconf<\/a> was created to be an event that brings together the people driving innovation in the WordPress space, and building awesome things using the platform.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights was hearing from John O\u2019Nolan, Founder and CEO of Ghost. Twelve years ago, John launched Ghost on Kickstarter with a bold vision: give independent publishers the same tech advantages as media giants, without trapping them in closed, corporate platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today, and Ghost is thriving as a non-profit: $8M in annual recurring revenue, a global team of 34, and more than $100M earned by creators using the platform.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also got a great session from Ivelina Dimova, Senior Developer at Awesome Motive, who shared practical tips on how to take your WordPress sites and plugins to the next level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She showed us how to offload heavy tasks with serverless libraries and how to tap into powerful ML and AI tools, without needing to become an expert yourself. It was a super useful, hands-on talk packed with actionable insights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge shoutout to all the other speakers who shared their knowledge and kept the crowd inspired all day long. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a great day at Loopconf! It was such a fantastic opportunity to connect with so many of you, attend inspiring seminars, and walk away with fresh ideas and valuable insights.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a big thanks to the organisers for putting together such a well-run and engaging event! <\/p>\n\n\n
