Last weekend and for the first time ever, WordPress connaisseurs, digital strategists, and industry visionaries came together to learn and collaborate at the WP Engine London Summit. The day-long event took place at the Sofitel in the heart of London and included approximately 100 attendees from across the globe. The agenda consisted of eight thought-provoking speeches and one informative and relevant panel.
