Content Imports and Site Migrations
Details
Note that I've scheduled this for the 4th Sunday in September to avoid a conflict with WordCamp Sacramento (https://2017.sacramento.wordcamp.org/).

Here's the problem: the client's old site is not in WordPress, but you need to import a ton of content. What do you do? It's not always easy to bring content from another platform into WordPress, but it is always possible.
Topics:
CMS2CMS (https://cms2cms.com/)
Importing from HTML with the HTML Import 2 (https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-html-pages/) plugin
Importing WP comments with WordPress Comments Import & Export (https://wordpress.org/plugins/comments-import-export-woocommerce/)
Changing post types with Post Type Switcher (https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-type-switcher/)
Managing taxonomies with Term Management Tools (https://wordpress.org/plugins/term-management-tools/)
WP All Import/All Export Pro (http://www.wpallimport.com/)
Importing authors to Co-Authors Plus (https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/)

If you have experience with complex imports (looking at you, Anca), please volunteer to help present.
