Last night I got home at 3:00 from the first ever multi-nation WordCamp, WordCamp Europe 2013 in Leiden, The Netherlands. The weekend was packed with many inspiring talks, but above all it was a unique chance to meet other developers and designers from around Europe and the world. Based on discussions I had during the past two days, advanced use cases of WordPress as an app platform are becoming more and more common. I also had the opportunity to talk to many WordPress “superstars” like Andrew Nacin, Nikolay Bachyisky and The Matt.

Putting together a conference of over 700 people can not be an easy task, but everything went pretty much without a hiccup (there were occasional wifi problems but that’s almost to be expected). A big thanks to the international team of organisers!
