Video Sponsor Interview: Nicole Kohler – Jetpack

Jetpack is a powerful WordPress plugin packed with truly useful features to help users create content, secure their sites and design their sites. They’ve sponsored WordCamp Ann Arbor every year since we started and for that we are so grateful.

Growth Marketer Nicole Kohler used to work on the WooCommerce team at Automattic before transitioning to her current role on the Jetpack team. In this conversation we talk about what her and the rest of the Jetpack team are working on, answer questions people sometimes have about Jetpack and chat a little about WordCamps.

Be sure to stop by the Jetpack and WooCommerce tables this weekend to say thanks for sponsoring and learn more about these great plugins!

Video Sponsor Interview: Josh Ward – Nexcess

Nexcess is a Michigan based web hosting company which has been supporting WordCamp Ann Arbor since day 1. This year they are both a Lake Superior sponsor as well as the sole sponsor for the after party.

Josh Ward is the VP of Sales at Nexcess and in this video, spends some time with me talking about his story, what Nexcess is doing for WordPress customers these days and what he’s looking forward to at WCA2.

Video Sponsor Interview: Devin Sears – Bluehost

Devin Sears is one of the coolest guys I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with at WordCamps in the past. He works for Bluehost and finds himself at a lot of events. Along with a few colleagues he made it out last year for WordCamp Ann Arbor and has some very kind comments to share about our event.

In this video I connect with Devin to chat about what he and Bluehost are up to lately and what attendees can expect from them at WCA2 2017.

Video Sponsor Interview: Andy Melichar – A2 Hosting

A2 Hosting has sponsored WordCamp Ann Arbor for four straight years and for that, we’re so grateful. They’ve been incredibly supportive of our event in so many ways since the very beginning.

This year, A2 Hosting is a top level sponsor and will be sending numerous staff members to the event.

In this video I chatted with Andy Melichar (who is also speaking and helping organize WCA2!) about the super cool stuff A2 Hosting is up to, what they’re doing to help WordPress users succeed, why they are investing so much in the WordPress community and what we can expect from that at WordCamp Ann Arbor this year.

Definitely make sure you make some time to both thank the folks from A2 Hosting at the event and get to know them better. They’re awesome people and they’re helping make this event possible.
