In 2026, AI chatbots are no longer just "nice-to-have" features, they are the primary interface for our customers and global workforces. But as we scale, the stakes have shifted. It’s no longer just about "can we build it?" but "how do we govern it responsibly?" Let me guide you through AI Ethics & Governance specifically for those of you in the trenches of product development. We’re moving beyond compliance as a "chore" and reframing it as a competitive advantage. From implementing frameworks like NIST, through compliance with the EU AI Act, to mitigating bias, we explore how Product Owners, Product Managers, and Software Engineers can build "Trustworthy AI" that scales. Don’t let ethics be an afterthought, make it your product’s superpower. Let’s lead the era of building AI that isn't just smart, but right.

Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we're tackling two vital topics for every WordPress professional! This month, we're exploring the future of WordPress accessibility documentation and hearing a candid story of business survival when AI disrupted traditional traffic sources. Whether you're building inclusive websites or rethinking your business model in the age of AI, these sessions offer practical insights you can act on immediately. 📅 **Date:** Thursday, 26 February 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM ⬅ **EARLIER TIME** 🎟️ **Cost:** Free (Registration Required) *** **Session 1: WordPress' accessibility documentation is getting a major overhaul. What's new?** 🤝 **Speaker:** Rian Rietveld ([rianrietveld.com](https://rianrietveld.com/)) Rian is an experienced web accessibility specialist from the Netherlands who has consulted for WordPress agencies and written guidelines for the Dutch government on accessible web forms and applying WCAG. Currently, she focuses on teaching and writing documentation, including a major update to WordPress' accessibility resources. During 25 years of working as a web accessibility specialist, Rian noticed the biggest hurdle to creating an accessible web is the lack of knowledge. People struggle to find reliable information, code patterns, rules and testing methods. Together with Joe Dolson, she started working on the WP Accessibility Knowledge Base: up-to-date, well-maintained information about delivering accessible work and proper testing. With clear do's and don'ts, practical examples, and easy-to-follow documentation. Find out about their progress, how you can contribute, and how the documentation on make.wordpress.org will benefit from this project. *** **Session 2: When AI Killed My Traffic, Humans Saved My Business** 🤝 **Speaker:** Rodolfo Melogli ([Business Bloomer](https://businessbloomer.com)) Rodolfo is an author, WooCommerce expert and WordCamp speaker who has worked as an independent WooCommerce freelancer since 2011. His goal is to help entrepreneurs and developers overcome their WooCommerce nightmares. He loves travelling, chasing tennis and soccer balls and, of course, wood-fired oven pizza. For years, traffic was the engine of Rodolfo's business until it wasn't. AI changed discovery faster than he expected, and the impact was immediate. This talk tells the story of having to pivot fast: moving away from dependence on search and toward owned relationships. He'll share how building and nurturing communities, both online and offline, became the new foundation. What worked, what failed, and what he'd do differently today. If your WordPress business relies on visibility you don't control, this talk offers a realistic look at what happens when that visibility disappears and how to recover. *** **Schedule:** 🔹 **6:00 PM** – Doors Open & Networking 🔹 **6:30 PM** – Welcome & Session 1: Rian Rietveld 🔹 **7:30 PM** – Short Break & Networking 🔹 **7:45 PM** – Session 2: Rodolfo Melogli 🔹 **8:30 PM** – Social & Wrap-Up *** **📢 Help Us Grow the Community!** Know someone who'd benefit from these sessions?

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. If the weather cooperates we will be meeting in the patio. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Join us and work remotely together with like-minded UX folks. This is a last minute opportunity to get out at one of our favorites, [Junto](https://thejuntohotel.com/)! Plenty of seating is available in addition to a connected coffee shop and restaurant. I will be there 10-12 for sure, maybe longer. Feel free to come and go anytime during the day, and don't forget your charger and headphones!

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
