Tickets: https://dice.fm/event/l8dyep-ksenia-and-friends-27th-may-the-star-of-kings-london-tickets **A new era starts here.** Ksenia steps into her first-ever headline show — a one-night-only moment marking the start of her new sound, identity, and chapter. This isn’t a big tour stop or a polished industry rollout. It’s the first time you’ll hear this music live, in a room that still feels close enough to see every reaction. Expect a night of emotionally charged pop, honest storytelling, and high-energy performance, joined by special guest artists handpicked by Ksenia — all part of a growing London scene of emerging voices. If you like discovering artists before everyone else catches on, this is that kind of night. Small room. One show. No second version of this moment. Be there at the start.

In-person and online - this is the **May 2026 London Webflow Meetup**! New to Webflow, experienced, freelance, in-house, or just curious, everyone is welcome. Curious what it’s like? [Watch the one-minute teaser](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_eZDWFEuDU). ️🕰️ **SCHEDULE** **6.15pm:** drinks + mingle **6.30pm**: welcome and announcements. **6.45pm:** presentations Session 1 **Beyond Blue Links: AEO + Optimize and Future-Proofing Your Clients for the AI Era** with **[Karleigh Dowell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/karleighdowell/)** Search is changing faster than most agencies are ready for. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews — your clients' customers are increasingly getting their answers before they ever click a link. The old SEO playbook isn't broken, but it's no longer enough. In this session we'll unpack what Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) actually means in practice, and how to prep client sites to show up — and convert — in an answer-first world. Expect a practical look at how AI is reshaping discovery, how Webflow Optimize fits into smarter personalisation and stronger conversion outcomes, and what agencies should be telling clients today to stay ahead of the shift. *Karleigh Dowell is a Senior Solutions Engineer at Webflow, where she works closely with enterprise customers and agency partners to help teams build, optimise, and scale high-performing digital experiences.* Session 2 **From Pixels to People: Lead Tracking and Attribution for Webflow Sites** with **[Ben Power](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benpowerr/)** Front-end web design is getting easier, but figuring out who is actually converting on your site is getting harder. Whether you're generating leads, signups, or sales, browser pixels are quietly breaking - and the dashboards built on top of them are lying to you. In this session we'll move past vanity metrics to look at how you build a modern tracking stack that actually proves ROI. Expect a plain-English breakdown of server-side tracking, a live look at a custom AI-powered User Journey Tool I've built for clients, and an honest take on where Webflow fits when you're optimising for outcomes, not just aesthetics. *Ben Power is the co-founder of Pacing Agency, a London-based external marketing team that builds the engine room behind profitable Webflow sites.* **8.00pm**: social at a local pub **🌍 LOCATION** Beyond, Level 2, **The Bower Building**, 207 Old St, London EC1V 9NR Main building entrance closes at 7pm! 1 minute walk from Old Street tube station. Take the MAIN tube station exit. Entrance to The Bower building is down a side street next to the Wagamama restaurant. **📺 LIVE STREAM** Can't make it in person? Then tune into our new live stream.

This will be a wonderful opportunity to learn, network and enjoy great food together. Huge thanks to our friends at **Redis** for sponsoring this event and supporting our Community. **Agenda:** **5:30pm:** Doors open **6pm:** LJC and Redis intros **6:10pm:** Samuel Agbede: Designing Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems with Spring AI **7pm:** Break & food **7:30pm:** Leif Åstrand: UI with Redis and Vaadin using 100% Java **8:15pm:** Networking **9pm:** Event finish **Speaker One:** Samuel Agbede, **Title:** Designing Production-Ready Multi-Agent Systems with Spring AI **Synopsis:** Exploring how Redis can go beyond traditional caching to support semantic caching, intelligent routing, and short-lived application memory in AI-driven Java systems. **Speaker Bio:** Software Engineer and Developer Advocate at Redis focused on AI agents and memory systems. Samuel explores how context, retrieval and state shape intelligent behaviour in real-world applications. **Speaker Two:** Leif Åstrand **Title:** UI with Redis and Vaadin using 100% Java **Synopsis:** Full-stack development can be intimidating, especially when going beyond the typical CRUD. A reactive application with real-time updates requires knowing things like WebSockets on top of the regular frontend stuff. But what if you could build a full-featured full-stack web app using only straightforward Java? No JavaScript, no HTML, no CSS. Just Java. Join this live coding session to discover how to develop a reactive web app using Spring Boot, Redis and Vaadin. Starting from scratch, we'll cover everything: real-time updates, external services, and a good-looking UI. All in Java. **Speaker Bio:** Leif has been working with full-stack web application development in various ways for the past 20 years. Building applications, building frameworks for building applications, and in the last few years mainly working to understand what it takes to build applications. Works at Vaadin in areas related to product management, research, architecture and product development.

Join us for another evening at #WPLDN, where we're tackling two of the more practical conversations happening in WordPress right now. First up, the migration question: how do you move thousands of legacy ACF Flexible Content posts into the block editor without losing your weekend? Then we're shifting gears to security, with a live interview exploring how AI is reshaping both sides of the WordPress security landscape. 📅 **Date:** Thursday, 28 May 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00 PM BST 🎟️ **Cost:** Free (Registration Required) \-\-\- **Session 1: How We Automated Migrating Thousands Of Blog Posts From ACF Flexible Content To The Block Editor** 🤝 **Speaker:** Cameron Jones ([cameronjonesweb.com.au](https://cameronjonesweb.com.au)) Before the block editor arrived, ACF's Flexible Content field was the go-to for giving clients control over custom layouts. The block editor now offers a far more powerful experience, but that leaves a familiar problem: how do you migrate thousands of existing posts without manual rebuilds? Cameron will walk through how his team automated the entire process with just a few lines of code. Cameron Jones is the owner and lead developer of Shortie Designs, a web design agency based in the little beach town of Victor Harbor. With over a decade of experience building websites at various local and international agencies, he acquired Shortie Designs in 2024 to take the leap from developer to business owner. With a particular speciality in plugin development, Cameron is also the founder of Mongoose Marketplace, where his free and premium plugins have been downloaded over 400,000 times. He also works with the free donation platform Ko-fi to maintain their official WordPress plugin and authored the popular “WordPress Plugin Development For Beginners” course, which has been taken by almost 1,000 students. \-\-\- **Session 2: A Conversation with Robert Abela & Tim Nash: WordPress Security, AI & the Human Factor** 🤝 **Speakers:** Robert Abela ([Melapress](https://melapress.com)) and Tim Nash ([WP Security 101](https://wpsecurity101.com)) What are the biggest security challenges facing WordPress today, and how is AI changing the landscape for both attackers and defenders? Robert and Tim join us for a live interview and audience discussion covering modern WordPress security, user account protection, and why user awareness and visibility are becoming critical to keeping sites safe. Robert Abela is the founder and CEO of Melapress, where he and his team build WordPress plugins that help people manage and keep their websites and users secure. Tim is a WordPress Security consultant and professional doomspeaker. He teaches WordPress Security through his [wpsecurity101.com](https://wpsecurity101.com) course and provides consultancy services via Tempered Ltd. \-\-\- **Schedule:** 🔹 **6:00 PM** – Doors Open & Networking 🔹 **6:30 PM** – Welcome & Session 1: Cameron Jones 🔹 **7:30 PM** – Short Break & Networking 🔹 **7:45 PM** – Session 2: Robert Abela & Tim Nash 🔹 **8:30 PM** – Social & Wrap-Up \-\-\- **📢 RSVP Now!** Whether you're knee-deep in legacy content migrations or thinking through your security posture, there's plenty here to chew on. Bring your questions, bring your scepticism, and we'll see you at #WPLDN! \-\-\- **Venue Information** **The Bridge** is a charity supporting women to make positive choices and encouraging improvements to fitness, health, and wellbeing. The venue features a plant-based café (supplied by Girls Who Grind Coffee) and is just a 5-minute walk from London Bridge Station. \-\-\- **Massive thanks to our sponsors who make these free events possible:** [DreamHost](https://www.dreamhost.com/partners/wpldn/), [PodcasterPlus](https://www.podcasterplus.com/?utm_source=wpldn&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=partnership), [Mollie](https://www.mollie.com/gb/integrations/woocommerce), and [Kinsta](https://kinsta.com/) \-\-\- If you're interested in being a featured speaker at an upcoming event, we'd love to hear from you at [https://wpldn.uk/speak](https://wpldn.uk/speak). **🎥 - Media Release Terms** By attending, you understand and accept that portions of the event may have audio/photo/video-recorded and/or live-streamed and may be used by the organisers.
