We Plan to Post Videos of the Talks … Eventually
We recorded each of the talks for WordCamp Philly 2018 this weekend, and we plan to make them available online at WordPress TV as soon as possible. When will that be? We don’t know exactly. Depending on video format, quality and various other factors, it may be early in 2019. There were other WordCamps this weekend alone in Manchester, England; Utrecht, The Netherlands; Bucharest, Romania; Brisbane, Queensland, Australia; and Kigali, Rwanda.
We’ll retweet them when they are posted. Meanwhile, check out the videos from other #WordPress events at https://wordpress.tv/
