It may be the widest variety of topics we&#8217;ve seen at a Milwaukee WordCamp. And while that&#8217;s really awesome, it does make it a bit of a challenge to find where we they fit so that there is some sort of flow. But, after a lot of work from our volunteers, we put together a group of really great speakers and we can&#8217;t wait for WordCamp Milwaukee, 2016!<\/p>\n<p>So, without any further adieu, here is the list of speakers, Round One (in no particular order, other than alphabetical). . .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joshua Alexander: <em>&#8220;Marketing for the Antisocial&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dan Beil: &#8220;<em>So You Think You Can Scale&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Josh Broton: <em>&#8220;WordPress + React: A Match Made in Heaven&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brad Hull: <em>&#8220;Relaunching Your Website&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elliot Christenson: <em>&#8220;Giving Clients What They Need &#8211; Not What They Want&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matthew Clancy: <\/strong>&#8220;<em><strong>Shifting the Mindset of Customer Support for WordPress&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Erwin: <\/strong>&#8220;<em><strong>How to Conduct an SEO and Content Audit&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matthew Green: <em>&#8220;<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Creating a WordPress Site From Scratch&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve Heuser: <\/strong><strong><em>&#8220;Making a List and Checking it Twice!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Aaron Holbrook: <em>&#8220;Improving WordPress Search&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Josh Horneck: <\/strong><em>&#8220;<strong>Editors Are Users Too&#8221;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kiera Howe: <em>&#8220;WP-CLI: Automating Your WordPress&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Davo Hynds: <em>&#8220;Componentizer: A tiny MVC for Components&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike McCallister: <em>&#8220;Learning From the WordPress Sites&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the First Round.
