Lindsay lives in Phoenix, Arizona where she leads the product  team at PureChat, a live chat API and WordPress plugin that is designed to help small businesses generate leads and get more sales (managed WordPress hosting provider, Pagely, recently published an excellent review of PureChat here).

Guy is a self-taught developer who is currently the Senior Software Engineer for MOJO Marketplace. Before joining MOJO, he worked as a developer and software development manager for Blendtec. Like a lot of us, he got his start freelancing and then starting his own development agency before getting a “real” job. Now he helps maintain MOJO’s system that handles thousands of WordPress installs every month.

Jeff comes to us all the way from Park City, where he’s a Lead Application Developer for clients like CBS, The Pioneer Woman, and Sony. When he isn’t coding for work, he’s often coding for fun and has contributed to WordPress core, the WordPress iOS app and the WordPress Codex as well as other open source projects.

Shayda is from Austin, Texas, where she’s part of the marketing team for WPEngine. She’s spoken at this year’s WordCamp Milwaukee and will be speaking at WordCamp Vegas the week after WCSLC, but she’s travelled all over the world to attend WordCamps and meet with the WordPress community. She is a long-time WordPress user and blogger and can be found on her food blog Dine With Shayda.

2 years ago, Ryan founded WP Site Care — a dedicated WordPress support agency that you can use for everything from regular maintenance to fixing your broken theme. Since then, WP Site Care has earned rave reviews and built a small army of loyal followers.

Nothing in business has been more gratifying for Ryan than building a team and seeing the people around him thrive and grow. “The first few years running WP Site Care have been a total rollercoaster,” he says, “and I’m looking forward to many more years of business thrills to come, as well as the future of WordPress as a whole.”

Be sure to give Ryan a big “thank you” when you see him in September, WPSiteCare is also one of our local sponsors!

Mika — or Ipstenu, as she’s better known on the Internets — is well known throughout the WordPress community. She’s spoken at many WordCamps but is possibly best known for being one of the members of the plugin review team. She’s currently known as the Half-Elf Support Rogue for DreamHost where she spends equal time evangelizing WordPress and responding to WordPress support issues. She even manages to find time to write — both on her blog, halfelf.org, and in the form of ebooks that you can purchase and download from her store!

We’re incredibly excited to have her at WordCamp Salt Lake City!

Angela comes to us from Boulder, Colorado, where she co-organizes a local WordPress meetup and teaches classes on WordPress. She is also behind AskWPGirl where she posts WordPress-related tips and advice and offers her consulting and design and development services.

She was recently named to a list of 14 WordPress Experts to follow by a UK design studio and, when she saw that she was only one of two women on the list, she posted her own list of 10 Women in WordPress to Follow.
