More Details:

The WordPress 5.0 release has come and gone. Many sites have successfully upgraded to the new block editor, and some have chosen to remain on the Classic Editor. Version 5.1 is also scheduled for release in late February. So what does this mean for site owners? What new features does 5.1 have? What about the questions I still have about the new block editor?

In this talk, Jonathan will catch everyone up on 5.0 happenings, break down what changes are shipping in 5.1, explain the short term and long term path for WordPress, and help with any questions or concerns attendees have about either.
