It was only a few days ago that we brought you Part One of our speaker lineup, and we couldn’t be happier with it. Yet one round of speakers just won’t do. We have so many more speakers to announce. There’s going to be such incredible content at WordCamp US, you’re just not going to know what to do with yourself.
