Veteran WordCamp Philly speaker Tessa Kriesel will return this year, this time as keynote speaker. She will present “The Art of Building Community with WordPress”.
Aida Correa will be the closing speaker for the daytime events Saturday, October 5, talking to attendees about how to leverage their WordCamp experience.
Tessa Kriesel
Building community and teaching come naturally to dog-lover and Developer Community Manager at CircleCI, Tessa Kriesel. She wears many hats in her life — all with sass and finesse — including founder of Outspoken Women and Coders of TMRW.
Tessa has spoken on many topics, including helping beginners with their development workflows, mentorship, building communities, and shedding light on continuous integration and deployment. She has also been a panelist on a wide range of topics at Conferences and Meetups.
When Tessa isn’t working on her development chops or building community, she is using her extroverted super hero skills to make people feel welcome and included at whatever event she attends.
