Earlier this month, WordPress released version 6.4, “Shirley”, introducing a versatile new default theme, Twenty Twenty-Four, alongside enhancements to the Block Editor’s workflow and organization. Befitting the season of thanks and giving, we are proud to share that twenty 10uppers contributed to the release.
This afternoon, October 24, I’m presenting a workshop at AI DevWorld in Santa Clara, California. My talk, “Game On: Teach AI to Play Browser Games”, will explore different ways to build an AI bot to play — and win — browser games through Deep Learning, Neuroevolution, and Reinforcement Learning. Learn more about the AI conference and my workshop.
On Tuesday, September 19, I’ll be attending the California Government Innovation Summit in Sacramento. alongside Director of Account Strategy, Brian Bourn, and Director of Client Strategy, Shannon Swenson. 10up is proud to sponsor a Summit focusing on driving digital innovation for all sectors of California’s government.
We’ll be frequenting WordPress VIP’s booth, as we jointly share how we each leverage open source and WordPress to propel digital transformation and innovation in California government.

Today, I’m proud to announce a merger months in the making with a fellow premium digital services agency whose work and leadership I’ve come to admire: Fueled.
Fueled is to mobile and enterprise-grade online applications what 10up has been to WordPress and online content management and publishing: an innovator and leader driven by the values of customer service, creativity, and craftsmanship. Fueled has built stand out iOS and Android apps – several of which I’ve personally used – for clients like Warby Parker, Verizon, the United Nations, and even Apple themselves. Just as 10up has built some great mobile applications, Fueled has executed notable works in the web application space for clients like Wall Street Journal and The New York Times – but content management systems and editorial experience has never been a core focus and strength. Until now.

Next week, I – and ten other 10uppers, including President & Founder Jake Goldman and CEO John Eckman – are traveling to National Harbor, Maryland (just outside of Washington DC) for WordCamp US. The largest WordPress conference in the United States, this annual event takes place August 24 – 26 and expects nearly 2,000 attendees.
On Thursday night, the evening before the WordCamp begins, Jake will be joining a panel to discuss how governments and civic tech can modernize with WordPress during the inaugural “Run with VIP: WordPress for Government Summit”. The event is independent of the WordCamp, free to attend, and includes time for networking — you can still register here.
I’m looking forward to several presentations from my 10up colleagues during the three-day event:
Some other attending 10uppers will include SVP of Engineering Taylor Lovett (a local!), VP of New Client Strategy Brad Miller, Director of Client Growth Strategy Steve Meyers, and VP of Platforms & Systems (and ElasticPress product lead) Vasken Hauri.
We can’t wait to see you there!
