So the first ever globally recognized WordPress conference held in Lagos Nigeria on Saturday 10th March 2018 and experts, developers, content managers, WordPress enthusiasts, social media managers and influencers and a whole lot of tech enthusiasts were in attendance. I made a video on 5 reasons why you should attend the conference on my vlog (see video below):
