Facts and Photos from WordCamp Belgrade 2018 Share: Neuralab Date Published 27 November 2018 Categories Blog, News Reading Time 2-Minute Read More than 2000 people joined forces and made the biggest WordPress event in history. But don’t take our word for it – we have photos and facts to prove it. We’ll open big because that’s what the 2018 WordCamp was like – hands-down the biggest and most impressive WordCamp ever. Some of the noted speakers for WordCamp Europe 2018 (Belgrade edition) included John Maeda, Morten Rand-Hendriksen, Adam Silverstein, K Adam White, Joost De Valk, and Alberto Medina. Mix that with probably 3000 people from all over the world and you’ll see the true meaning of a WordPress community. (On a funnier note, check out an eating & drinking guide for Belgrade made by the Serbian WP community, experienced local eaters & drinkers). Neuralab’s CEO Krešo talked about a “LifeCycle of a WordPress project” for around 90 minutes and covered tools and best practices on how to start, finish and maintain a full WP implementation for enterprise-grade clients. An interesting addition to the workshop was the analysis of modern tools like Trello for backlog grooming, JIRA for prioritization along with current communication tools like Slack groups and Google Hangouts.
