Speaker Announcements: Our final speakers

Posted on by

This is it, the last of our super speakers for WordCamp Brisbane 2017!

With only a couple of days until WordCamp and tickets well and truly sold out, it’s our pleasure to wrap up our speaker announcements with the final three speakers to be gracing us with their presence this weekend.

Peter Shilling

Peter is a partner at The DMA, a Sydney based WordPress agency, while a developer at heart he spends more time in the business development and project strategy areas these days.

Peter was an organiser for WordCamp Sydney in 2016 & 2014 and helps organise the Sydney WordPress meetups.

Presenting: Domain Names & DNS

Everything…you didn’t know or potentially thought you knew,  but in fact you don’t really know and should.

Domain Names and the Domain Name System are some of the key building blocks that keep the internet running. Come and learn a little more about how it all works.

In this session you’ll learn about:

  • the industry that keeps your domains up and running
  • who regulates domain names, where to get help
  • new GTLD domains like .sydney and .shop
  • the basics of DNS
  • Understanding how DNS can help you make a website move much easier

Michael Visser

Michael is a WordPress Plugin developer specialising in e-Commerce (that means 99% WooCommerce), his free and pro plugins have clocked 825,000+ downloads and he’s adopted an abandoned Plugin from w.org which continues to power 40,000+ stores likely without store owners even realising…

Michael has worked alongside leading e-Commerce Plugin developers and has a past in retail technology solutions. He presented at WordCamp Denmark and volunteered at WordCamp Europe in 2016, since moving back to Brisbane in February he’s attended several WordPress Brisbane Meetups and this month started the WooCommerce Brisbane Meetup. Come say hi!

Presenting: Extending WordPress and WooCommerce core

Join Michael as he shares his favourite practical WordPress and WooCommerce code snippets that can be applied to WordPress sites. Session content is aimed at WordPress site integrators and WooCommerce store owners but there’s content that new WooCommerce store owners may want to jot down for future reference. We will cover as much content as possible before switching to Q&A format.

Noel Tock

Noel is a Swiss digital nomad that loves creating products online. His typical day to day consists of WordPress, Front-End Design and Product Management. Above all, he’s also one of the three partners at Human Made, a WordPress.com VIP Partner where he oversees products like Happytables, Nomadbase and startup partnerships such as United Influencers.

Presenting: Product-Driven Websites: Achieving Results from Day One

How do you design and make decisions for the WordPress websites you build? As competition increases, the process through which websites are produced will become increasingly important. In his talk, Noel will tackle this challenge from a product-focused approach – to help you build more successful websites, quicker.
