I am a divergent technology enthusiast, born with the heart of a nomad and WordPress saved me from roaming the internet 9+ years ago by giving me a voice of my own which I use freely on my blogs. Hence, it isn't a surprise that I love WordPress & backpacking, right? I am building WPSlay for SMEs with WordPress websites needing support and maintenance, Gbefunwa for hosting WordPress websites, and a co-living community in Lagos, NGA in the works. I work full-time at Stranger Studios, makers of the powerful PMPro membership plugin for WordPress websites. I volunteer for Uwani Hub and the African WordPress community in my spare time.

WCLOS19 is here. Are You Ready?

Dear WordPress Enthusiasts,

First off, I would like to sincerely apologise to my Muslim Brothers and Sisters for this years’ event dates taking place within the first week of Ramadan. We are super sorry for this and we promise to ensure this will not happen again at future WordCamps. We will be making provisions to have your lunches and beverages packed on all days, please fill this form to enable us do that: https://hdytech.typeform.com/to/WDgB7J (this will only take eight seconds on your time).

All you need to know about WCLOS19, an interview with Adedayo, an organiser for this event.

The second annual edition of WordCamp Lagos is happening this May 10th – 12th, 2019. The schedule is out, we listened to your feedbacks from last year and we brought practical workshops this year. On Friday May 10th, we will host two concurrent practical sessions on development, UX, blogging, and business. Check the schedule for topics that are within your interest and make it a date to attend, check out this post on convincing your boss to allow you attend these workshops. There will be lots of refreshments, lunches on all three days and swags to take home.
