Bristol WordPress People are hosting their second live speaking event at Temple Studios:
Dancing with AI – A Developer’s Journey – With Elliott Richmond
As AI continues to reshape our workflows, the question isn’t “Will it replace us?” but rather, “How do we work with it?”
In this talk, Elliott explores how developers can embrace AI not as a threat, but as a collaborative partner.
Elliott Richmond is a seasoned WordPress developer and meetup organiser with a sharp focus on modern, block-based theme and plugin development. He champions mobile-first design and treats WordPress as a flexible foundation for custom solutions.
Through open-source contributions, YouTube tutorials, and community events, he helps developers and agencies stay ahead of the curve.
When he’s not debugging block markup or advocating for full site editing, you’ll find him orchestrating a weekend-side hustle, that somehow involves five staff, 450-degree ovens, and a lot of very happy locals.
