Chris and I are not “the speakers” but we’ll demo a few improvements to start the discussions. Everyone is welcome to ask questions, demo a feature, recommend solutions, or explain a concept. This format usually creates a highly informative meeting, where everyone learns. There is much to learn. As you know, WordPress 6.5 introduced:

• Block Binding API:
• Smart Overlay for the Cover Block:
• Drop Shadow Effect:
• Block Settings in List View ​​
• Rename Blocks in List View
• Improved Link Control: e.g. NoFollow checkbox​​
• Refreshed Preferences Panel: e.g. categorized sections for appearance and Accessibility,
• Site Editor UI Enhancements
• AVIF Image Support

And WordPress 6.6 should bring:

• Enhanced Block Patterns:
• Full Site Editing enhancements
• Interactivity API e.g. interactive elements without page reloads​​.
• Custom Fields API: connect block attributes with custom fields and metadata
• Mobile Navigation Overlay Customization
• Rollback for Plugin and Theme Updates.

### Evening Agenda:
7:00 PM: Warm welcomes and lightning introductions. Share your WordPress story in 10 seconds!
7:15 PM: Chris and I will start the discussions. Do interrupt with questions and comments whilst we share. We hope others will answer the questions, and maybe demo cool features they've discovered.
8:30 PM: We'll brainstorm next month's topic. Ideally someone will suggest an issue that many other struggle to master.
9:00 PM: Official wrap-up, leaving you inspired and connected.
