From the moment the doors opened, the energy at the venue was vibrant. It was wonderful to see our local community and international friends coming together to shape the future of the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Focus: AI and Innovation<br>A massive theme this year was the impact of Artificial Intelligence. From Jos\u00e9 Freitas opening the morning with the F.A.C.E. method to Jorge Costa showing us how AI is becoming a part of the WordPress Core, it is clear that we are no longer just talking about the future\u2014we are building it. Sessions on &#8220;Vibe Coding&#8221; and &#8220;Agentic Engineering&#8221; gave us a real look at how our roles as developers and managers are evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessibility and Responsibility<br>It wasn&#8217;t all about the &#8220;shiny&#8221; tech. I was particularly inspired by the focus on accessibility. Anne-Mieke Bovelett and Milana Cap reminded us that the web must be inclusive by design. As we transition into a new era of open-source development, Simon Kraft\u2019s insights on the Cyber Resilience Act provided a necessary reminder of our responsibilities as creators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business and Strategy<br>For the project managers and agency owners in the room, sessions regarding the &#8220;Agency Reset&#8221; and client management provided practical frameworks to take back to our teams on Monday. The workshops, including Ryan Welcher\u2019s deep dive into the AI API, offered the kind of hands-on experience that makes WordCamp so valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Huge Thank You<br>An event of this scale doesn&#8217;t happen without dedicated support. A massive thank you to our sponsors, speakers, volunteers, attendees and organizers. Your contribution to the WordPress community is what keeps this ecosystem thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See you all at the next WordCamp!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What an incredible day we\u2019ve just spent at WordCamp Portugal!
