We’re excited to announce our first round of speakers who will be presenting at WordCamp US 2026 in Phoenix in August!
Their sessions look at AI’s growing role in WordPress work: structuring agentic workflows, using block themes as AI-ready design systems, and the legal risks AI creates under GDPR and the EU AI Act. They also dig into bigger governance topics like public-sector site design, privacy law compliance, and keeping design systems true to their intent as they scale. The common thread is a move from just building things to actually organizing and managing the systems behind them.
