### Session 1: Supercharge Your Workflow with Automation on Pantheon

🤝 Speaker: Edmund Turbin (https://www.edmundturbin.com/)
WordPress workflows are becoming more complex, and the tools we use as developers are evolving rapidly. Automation is becoming increasingly relevant to many parts of the development workflow, and Pantheon has a unique approach to automation in WordPress. This talk will focus on several ways WordPress developers can leverage automation using 3rd party systems, platforms and open-source tools. We will explore automation via Scripting, WP-CLI, and Terminus during the development workflow and by executing post-deployment tasks with Quicksilver Hooks.
