This is a conference where both experts and beginners from the WordPress community will meet to discuss the latest developments of the CMS and share experiences.<\/p>\n<p>And just like last year, Combell has been <a href=\"https:\/\/2018.antwerp.wordcamp.org\/2018\/01\/29\/combell-gold-sponsor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>a \u201cgold sponsor\u201d of the event<\/strong><\/a>. In the video below, Combell collaborator Brecht Ryckaert (who has been using WordPress since 2005) explains why WordPress is so important to Combell. And not just because <strong>the Content Management System is so popular with its customers<\/strong>, or because the majority of the sites that Combell hosts are using WordPress.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TWPg5kFzm2o\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Combell indeed strongly believes in <strong>the importance and the strength of the WordPress community<\/strong>, because it allows the CMS to work correctly and continue to grow. Thanks to this community, Combell customers can work using this wonderful CMS, and Combell wants to give them something back. This is why Combell sponsors events and meetups about WordPress at the earliest opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, <strong>Combell sends its engineers to such events as often as possible<\/strong>, so that they can sharpen their skills and share their knowledge with other WordPress users \u2013 knowledge that is actually beneficial to every single WordPress customer at Combell and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<h2>Three WordCamp talks given by Combell engineers<\/h2>\n<p>Combell\u2019s commitment to the WordPress community also extends to other activities. No less than three Combell collaborators have submitted different talks on different subjects for WordCamp, and we are proud to tell you that they have been selected. What can you expect from their talks?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-14790\" title=\"Brecht Ryckaert\" src=\"https:\/\/www.combell.com\/nl\/blog\/files\/2018\/01\/Brecht-Ryckaert.jpg\" alt=\"Brecht Ryckaert\" width=\"150\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On Saturday (12:00), Combell senior support engineer <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/brechtryckaert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Brecht Ryckaert <\/strong><\/a> will talk about \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/2018.antwerp.wordcamp.org\/sessions\/#wcorg-session-1380\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Debugging WordPress<\/a>\u201d.
