Seahawk at WordCamp Boston 2018: Our First WordCamp
Seahawk’s first WordCamp, in its hometown of Boston, included a conversation on WordPress and hosting with GoDaddy’s head of WordPress.
Seahawk made its first WordCamp appearance at WordCamp Boston 2018, in the company’s hometown.
The highlight was a long conversation between co-founder Ryan James and Gabriel Mays, Head of WordPress at GoDaddy. Ryan approached Gabe in a small auditorium at Boston University before a talk, and the two moved out to the courtyard. Gabe had five years at GoDaddy behind him and led its WordPress products, one of its hottest lines. For an hour or two, Ryan, still a college student just getting started, shared everything he was working on, and they went deep on WordPress, hosting and strategy.
It was generous of Gabe to give that time. Ryan left inspired about the GoDaddy partnership, and the two stayed in touch.
Ryan also met hosting companies and agency owners from across the WordPress community, relationships that shaped the partnerships that followed.
“Being part of WordCamp in our hometown of Boston made the experience even more special,” Ryan said. “It was a fun and educational time, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend my first WordCamp.”
