About the Session

We’re in the middle of a massive tectonic shift: in the agency business, in WordPress, in the web, in marketing as a whole. Few, if any, understand how advancements in AI will ultimately reshape our worlds and our livelihoods.

But there ARE shocking parallels from the past. This paradigm shift may not be as unique as we think.

In this talk, we’ll look to history to see what guidance we can take from similar technologically-driven paradigm shifts of the past. Some of what we discover might just surprise you!

David G. Johnson is a brand storyteller at Nexcess. Previously a Product Manager in the company’s StellarWP software division, David was responsible for security, backup, and site management solutions used on more than 1 million WordPress sites. An agency owner for many years, David has been involved in the WordPress community since 2007, and is passionate about security and helping businesses thrive in the midst of change.
