Moderator for panel discussion: Growing beyond Gutenberg. From block-based editing to site administration

June 22, 2019

WordCamp Europe, Berlin, Germany

Talk synopsis

My primary job is to be the voice of the room and a liasion between the speakers, attendees and organisers. On stage I will introduce the speakers, handled the Q&A and ensured the room ran on time.

Event write-up

I hosted a panel discussion about the future of managing and administering WordPress websites: https://2019.europe.wordcamp.org/session/gutenberg-panel.

I had a lovely panel of five WordPress contributors who had been working with Gutenberg, or involved in it’s development. My role was to design the session to ensure that everyone’s voices were heard, the discussion was kept on track, we talked about interesting topics and that I kep the conversation moving at a reasonable pace.

The session had great feedback and I think it went down well. I will certainly by happy to host more panel discussions in the future based on that experience!
