Viptor Says: Registration for the WP Career Summit Is Now Open (New WordPress Event)

Hello to all WordPress developers and enthusiasts! Viptor here!

Today, I’ll be telling you about the Post Status community that is hosting a new event called WP Career Summit. The event is expected to take place on April 8, 2022. This summit will be groundbreaking for the WordPress world, as it will focus solely on job seekers and employers.

I have come to understand that attendees will be able to visit live virtual sponsor tables, network with one another, look at open positions, and engage with organizations that are now recruiting.

Let’s go and find out everything about this exciting new event!

Organizer Michelle Frechette About WP Career Summit

Our WordPress Agency for Development was curious to learn more about the WP Career Summit from the words of its organizer – Michelle Frechette.

Frechette has explained that back in 2020, she noticed organizations advertising openings, as well as many of her friends expressing a desire for employment opportunities. This is why she felt the need to figure out a mechanism to link those people with various companies.

Frechette then created wpcareerpages.com and began tweeting a job thread every Wednesday on social media. She discovered that after a period of tweeting the Wednesday job thread on a regular basis, it began to gain traction. Our WordPress development agency was delighted to find out that her posts would garner anything from 2k to 18k impressions depending on the week.

Frechette stated that there is clearly a demand since she’s had folks tell her that the tweets she’s posting helped them get a new job.

The author also shared that talks with Allie Nimmons about underrepresentation, along with her Twitter project, helped create underrepresentedintech.com – a website that immediately began linking projects and individuals.

When Frechette initially joined the Post Status team, she was assigned to write about underrepresentation and job-related articles, both of which she is enthusiastic about. Soon enough, Cory Miller, the club’s new owner, enjoyed the concept of a career conference that she pitched to him.

Our WordPress development company is happy to see that Frechette’s biggest goal is to kick off even greater dialogues in the WordPress community about linking talent with opportunity, which can now happen through the summit. This will be particularly helpful for individuals who are fresh out of school and are eager to begin their professional careers as soon as possible.

According to Frechette, we will see even more development in our ecosystem if we can attract younger talent to WordPress.

Open Call For Speakers and Sponsors

With that being said, I am delighted to inform you that speakers and sponsors are now being sought to take part in the new summit.

The WordPress developers from Vipe Studio learned that Post Status has hired Dan Maby from Big Orange Heart to run the tech portion of the conference using the platform he developed and uses for WordFest. We can also disclose that Jonathan Wold is managing the sponsorship aspect of the event.

Speakers who are exceptionally skilled at job seeking or know how to acquire and hire talent are sought by the organizers to support this amazing new event. Selected speakers will showcase their knowledge in 30-minute taped presentations. An added bonus is a $200 stipend for those who choose to participate.

Our WordPress Agency for Development has acquired the information that although the WP Career Summit will be a virtual event, each session will be followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A.

Because of the event’s incredible sponsors, registration is now open and is absolutely free of charge. Closer to the date of the event, attendees will receive instructions via email on how to log in and participate.
