Gravity Forms is proud to be a sponsor of WordCamp US 2021, which is running this week – Thursday, October 1st. WordCamp US 2021 will be a one-day virtual event with speaker sessions, Q & A time, workshops, and more. And all for free!

The WordCamp sessions lined up this year have been carefully selected to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to learn something new. There will also be plenty of time to network, meet new (and old) friends, and chat all things WordPress with like-minded people.

What’s On at WordCamp US?

Although WordCamp US is only a one-day event, it boasts an action-packed schedule that offers something for everyone. Here are just a few of the talks that the Gravity Forms team is looking forward to…

• Accessibility as a Journey: Rationales and Practical Tips for Making Sites Accessible – With accessibility at the heart of all that we do here at Gravity Forms, we are very excited to listen to Bet Hannon discuss the accessibility journey her agency has been on, as well as offer some insights and practical tips on how to make websites accessible.

• How Green Can a Website Be? – The internet uses a massive amount of energy, and every website we build contributes to the problem. Join Sienna Svob as she provides actionable, specific recommendations for practitioners concerned with sustainability – from what you can do with certain plugins, to approaches on WordPress and design – helping you to build greener websites.

• Creative Use of Block Styles – Block Styles are a great way to creatively customize blocks using (mostly) CSS. In this talk, Kjell Reigstad discusses how Gutenberg can be a conduit for art and design, and shares examples of Block Styles that turn standard blocks into works of art.

• Building Modern WordPress Sites: The Interplay of Blocks, Patterns, and Theme.json – Join Rich Tabor as he looks towards the horizon of modern website development with core WordPress tooling, and paints a picture of how blocks, patterns, and theme.json interplay with the new Full Site Editing experience.

• A Voice for the New White House Administration with the Block Editor – During this session, Helen Hou-Sandi discusses her experience of working on the launch of WhiteHouse.gov for the Biden-Harris Administration.
