Be True to You, Not Me (Keynote)
The question most people ask me is how to be me. But that isn’t really what you want to know. Your power to give back to WordPress is unique, and I can help show you the way. Don’t be me. Be you.

Closing Remarks
Phew, we made it to the end of the first day of WordCamp St. Louis! We’d like to highlight a few superstars and remind folks of what the heck is happening on Sunday.
Then, on to the afterparty with a few pointers on travel/parking and where to go once you reach the City Museum.

SaaS CMS to WordPress for 70+ schools sites (Begginer/Intermediate)
I recently replaced a proprietary SaaS CMS for the largest school district in the state (Newark, NJ). We launched our 70+ schools sites on Aug 29, 2014 on top of WordPress. Our district site is 30,000 pages and 300,000+ media assets. In the end, we cut our annual web site management budget in half and have beautiful new web sites powered by WordPress that ease the pain points our content owners, administrators and technology coordinators have when managing their school web sites.
This presentation will cover how this was achieved using WordPress, how it has solved many of the problems we were facing with our vendor-controlled proprietary system, and how we have embraced the concept of WordPress as an Application Framework, allowing us to create all kinds of sites, applications, and mobile apps directly from WordPress.
