AUSTIN, Texas — Feb. 16, 2021 — WP Engine, the world’s most trusted WordPress technology company, today announced registration is open for its second annual, developer-focused event DE{CODE} 2021. The completely virtual, developer-focused conference will take place on March 4th with 15 expert-led sessions on how to leverage the latest WordPress technologies, tools and tactics for easy setups, fast builds, effortless launches and successful optimizations. 

“DE{CODE} was born out of the idea that the best developers in the world are the ones who never stop learning,” said Jason Cohen, Founder and CTO at WP Engine. “In an effort to reach those WordPress developers and facilitate an online space for that learning, we launched DE{CODE} 2020 just over a year ago, focused on helping developers build better sites with WordPress, both faster and more effectively. It was a massive success, attracting more than 2,500 registrants from all over the world, and we’re looking forward to even bigger turnout this year.”

DE{CODE} 2021 features an exciting agenda filled with sessions and keynotes developers will appreciate. From headless strategies and building faster in Local environments to leveraging CI/CD for fast code deploys or Amazon Personalize for incredible eCommerce experiences, this year’s event will be full of great insights and information for developers to help make the next project they build stand out.
