While at this one-day event, make sure you stop by and speak with our very own Ericka Barboza and Rita Robles Loaiza. They’ll be available for any questions you may have or to simply chat.

They’re not just attending; Ericka and Rita are co-organizers of the event! So, I’d like to share a great deal of appreciation for helping to get Women WordPress Day put together.
