We were proud to return1 as a sponsor for WordCamp Miami again in 2014. This was a great opportunity for us to re-connect with old friends in the community and make a few new friends as well. Our thanks to the organizers for putting on another stellar event.
Our CEO Karim Marucchi participated on The Business of WordPress panel and the Business Q&A panel while board member Chris Lema moderated the business panel and gave a killer talk on pricing.
This year a good part of our leadership team was able to attend. Karim, COO Jason Rosenbaum, Director of Romanian Operations Bogdan Fireteanu, Chris Lema, and I all made the trip. This was a great excuse for us to meet up in person as well. Though the overall team is distributed across our global offices, we put a high value on face-to-face communications.
The Denver team then returned to snow on the ground Sunday evening. The beautiful weather in Miami was already sorely missed.

Alex King passed away in 2015.
Alex was one of the original WordPress developers. He helped with what later became the plugin directory and hugely influenced the path to themes.
