Contributor Day also has a few workshop slots. If you registered for Contributor Day you are looking at three days of learning and discussions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is my personal list of talks and workshops, mostly about the block editor, themes or AI in WordPress. I will update the post with the video links after WordCamp Asia once the recordings are uploaded to WordPress TV. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Livestreams are available on April 10 and 11 on the three session tracks, Foundation, Growth and Enterprise.
