Conferences offer a blend of targeted education and networking opportunities, a combination that can advance your skills and career. They can be expensive to attend, though. Between the ticket prices, travel, and time away from work, it’s important to make sure the conferences you attend are worth your time. Virtual conferences provide many of the same benefits, but at much lower cost. In this article, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best online conferences for WordPress developers to attend in the first half of 2024.

There’s nothing quite like a chance encounter at the buffet or bar, or meeting two new people because you overheard them discussing something you’re passionate about.
