WordCamp US 2025 \u2013 Portland, OR<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordCamp US 2025<\/a>\u2019s Showcase Day lit up the conference\u2019s opening with inspiring live demos, case studies, and how-to sessions. It wasn\u2019t just a showcase: it brought WordPress to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the opening keynote by Amy Sample Ward<\/strong>, The Tech That Comes Next,<\/em> to immersive deep dives like Joeleen Kennedy\u2019s session on modernizing Wikimedia\u2019s UX with full-site editing, the day pulsed with purposeful innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Josh Bryant<\/strong> showed how Gutenberg can live beyond WordPress itself, embedding it into a React-based editorial system for enterprise workflows. One attendee, Jai Ranganathan, a contractor for National Marine Sanctuaries, marveled, \u201cWho would have thought of taking out the block editor and putting it in a React system? It\u2019s incredible how people are mixing and matching WordPress like colors on a canvas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
