Announcement #2!
In the last update, we introduced the first four speakers for Checkout Summit 2026. Today, it’s time to reveal the next three.
They’re familiar faces in the Woo and WordPress ecosystem, each bringing years of experience, strong opinions, and plenty of stories from the field. One of them even spent more than a decade working for Woo, which makes this announcement even more exciting. These are people who know development, product strategy, and merchant needs inside out—so yes, seatbelts on.
This batch takes us to seven confirmed speakers, and we’re not done yet. The remaining five will be announced very soon, together with the first round of session topics. As always, the goal is to deliver the most practical, vendor-neutral, merchant-focused event for anyone who cares about WooCommerce. For now, here are the next three names joining the stage in 2026.
