Announcing WordCamp US 2018 Speakers - Round One

We had over 520 amazing talks submitted for consideration this year. The organizing team was blown away by the sheer number of submissions and we’re truly honored to be a part of a community that is so passionate about making WordPress the best it can possibly be. To everyone that submitted a talk, thank you. Without the generous contributions of our community, this event isn’t possible.
