WordPress is a popular content management system that scales well for large sites. It has a large community of hundreds of contributors and is used by over 30% of websites as a CMS. WordPress can power sites with millions of pageviews, is used by newspapers, communities, and enterprises, and is portable across multiple platforms including mobile. Speakers at WordCamp will discuss topics like scaling, custom development, theming, and contributing back to the WordPress project and community.
