Keynote: Why Community is More Important than Networking

Being part of a community can be a source of inspiration, friendship, partnership, and emotional support. The people in your community want to hear what you have to say. By helping you figure out where you might have gone wrong or what you have done right, the community can use this knowledge for their mutual benefit. This community might be formal or informal, but the benefits are the same. You will:

  • Learn from each other’s mistakes
  • Exchange tips of the trade
  • Pass on knowledge
  • Make connections
  • Learn new business skills

Angela will tell you the story of how WordPress and other communities she is involved with have helped catapult her career growth as well as other freelancers, business owners, web hosts, and plugin and theme developers. You will be inspired to get involved no matter how introverted, shy, or unsure you are of what you have to offer. The world awaits your story and is there to support you.
