Speakers Spotlight: Stephanie Fournier and Michael Bontyes

Michael started building websites with WordPress 10 years ago. Since then, many things change in the CMS but one remains the same: his enthusiasm to learn and discover new ways to make the web better, especially for end users and content managers.

Today, Michael is a technical lead for a digital agency where he contributes to enthralling projects with teams in Europe, Asia, and North America. You can also find him in WordCamps, at a workshop or at the happiness bar. More than ever, he is convinced that technology can help to bring people together and support great initiatives.

Stephanie knows, first-hand, why modern website projects need to adopt a “mobile-first” approach, and this has become even more relevant in a product ecosystem where a majority of users are now only seeing your website on their device.

For a while now, Stephanie has been making websites look good on every platform with a focus on the user experience and a passion for aesthetics. As an avid gamer, climber, and archery enthusiast, Stephanie thrives on challenge and on using lateral thinking to devise creative solutions to complex problems.

Michael and Stephanie will be speaking at 11:00am on Sunday, July 14th in the Rideau room. Their talk is entitled, How Gutenberg shakes up our WordPress projects.

You started using Gutenberg or you are not sure about taking the plunge? Then, join this panel to hear how the new WordPress editor is shaking up our projects, codebase and life as a developer and a project manager. Rather than the good and the bad, we would like to focus on what changes for us in our daily approach in an agency and invite you to make your own opinion.
