Gutenberg is the new WordPress editor with great capabilities for building custom pages and post layouts. A lot of users have started using it for complete website builds and there are several plugins in the ecosystem to extend Gutenberg with more features and functionality.
While page builders have been around for a long time, recently there has been a lot of discussion about the future of Page Builders in the Gutenberg era. Having built products for both Page Builders and Gutenberg (under development), I have experience of both the worlds and have interacted with customers about their use cases and requirements. In my session, I will share insights about how Page Builders and Gutenberg can co-exist.
What kind of challenges and problems both of these solve. Pros and cons of these elements for not only users but how it’s going to impact Business owners – who build with WordPress and for WordPress.

The freelance work/life balance is a bit challenging to get right. Having the freedom to work at home (or anywhere) is a major perk for freelancers. But because you’re the boss, you’re always driven to check your emails even on weekends or work until late at night to crunch numbers and keep the money rolling in. Work can become an overwhelming presence in your personal life and you suddenly feel like you’re always “working”.
There are strategies you can employ to avoid business burnout and create work/life balance, which includes setting boundaries between work and personal life, creating processes and delegating work.
In this talk, you will learn different ways on how to manage a healthy work/life balance and relieve the stress of self-employment while ensuring a recurring income.

Getting more done in less time – introducing WordPress automation using Ansible
Speaker: Ivan Yordanov
When you are creating and managing WordPress sites for living, regardless if you are a freelancer or working for an agency, it’s always great to see your customer base increasing. This however, leads to the question – what happens when you start struggling with the time for managing all of your client’s sites? The answer is actually pretty simple – automation.
Automation has become an important part of all departments in the IT sphere. No matter if you are a developer, DevOps or system administrator, it is critical for your time management to be able to complete the tasks you work on as fast as possible with minimum manual work.
Nowadays there are quite a lot tools for WordPress provisioning, management and code versioning, but wouldn’t be cool if you can do all of these things with the help of a single powerful software? I definitely think it is, that’s why I’d like to share with the audience how this can be achieved.
The talk will cover the following topics:
1. What is Ansible – how is it working, basics and general information.
2. Why Ansible will make your life easier – use cases and examples of how WordPress developers can benefit from it
3. How to start automating your WP site management process
4. Practical examples and suggestions for automating tasks related to WordPress sites management
