On Saturday 24 October, the Portuguese WordPress community is getting together in Faro for a full day on one question: what actually works when you bring AI into WordPress? We’re proud to be one of the sponsors of WordPress Day for AI Faro 2026, and our team will be there in person.
If you’re in Portugal, the Algarve, or a short flight away, here’s what the day is about, why we’re backing it, and how to grab one of the last seats.
Why we’re sponsoring🤝
AI has made writing code faster than ever. Ask a model for a function and you’ll have one in seconds. But that code still has to live somewhere on your site, and someone still has to decide whether it belongs there.
That second part is where Code Snippets has always lived. We’ve built it with our community for over fourteen years, so anyone can add custom functionality without editing theme files or risking their site with every change. An event about using AI with judgement, not hype, was an easy yes for us.
You can find us on the event’s sponsor page. Here’s what it says about us, in short:
- The original snippet manager for WordPress, trusted on more than one million active sites.
- Safe Mode built in. If a snippet breaks, your site recovers without FTP.
- Custom code, managed like plugins. Activate, deactivate, organise and sync snippets across every site you build.
- A community-powered cloud for discovering and sharing ready-made snippets.
- Code Snippets Pro goes further with CSS and JavaScript snippets, integrations with the editors and page builders you already use, conditional logic that controls exactly where each snippet runs, and cloud sync for whole snippet libraries.
The event at a glance📍
| Event | WordPress Day for AI Faro 2026 |
|---|---|
| Date | Saturday 24 October 2026, 09:00 to 18:00 |
| Venue | AP Eva Senses Hotel, Av. da República 1, Faro, a short walk from the marina |
| Format | Two rooms, 16 sessions, 100 seats |
| Language | Talks in Portuguese and English, with each session's language marked in the schedule |
The organisers kept it to 100 people on purpose. That means you can actually ask questions after a talk, catch speakers over coffee, and leave with real contacts rather than a pile of business cards.
Two rooms, one ticket 🧠
The programme runs in two rooms side by side, and one ticket gets you into both. Switch whenever a talk catches your eye.
- AI for Business is for business owners, agencies and freelancers who work with clients. Think pricing, client relationships, content that still sounds like you, and how much freedom to give an AI agent.
- AI for Development is for developers and technical teams. Expect live demos, code, and honest talk about what holds up in production.
The thread running through both rooms is one we agree with: AI makes building faster, but you’re still the one making the decisions.
Sessions we’re looking forward to🛠️
If you manage custom code on WordPress, these talks from the development room are worth circling:
- Practical Uses for WordPress Development with AI Assistance · Miguel Costa · EN. Real scenarios using an MCP integration, from content updates to depending on fewer plugins. Sound familiar?
- Secure development with AI in WordPress · Lucas Catão de Moraes · PT. Human review, keeping sensitive data out of prompts, and dependencies that sneak in unasked.
- AI with Boundaries: Implementing Guardrails and Evals in WordPress · Ivelina Dimova · EN. How to make an AI feature reliable before it reaches production.
- WordPress Abilities API and WooCommerce in plain language · Marco Almeida · PT. Exposing plugin features to AI tools in a structured way, with a live WooCommerce demo.
- The cleanup economy · Juan Manuel Rodríguez Jurado · EN. Sites built with AI and too little review, and how agencies can turn the tidy-up into an ongoing service.
See every session, room and time on the full schedule. The organisers note that times may still shift slightly, so check it again before the day.
Come and say hello👋
Verdi Heinze And Andrea Morgado from the Code Snippets team will be in Faro all day. Find us. We’d love to hear how you’re using snippets alongside AI tools, what’s working, what isn’t, and what you’d like us to build next.
Stop for a chat and you won’t leave empty-handed. We’re bringing a little something to share with everyone we talk to on the day.
See you in Faro🚀
One day, two rooms, sixteen sessions, and a room full of people asking the same questions you are. We’re glad to help make it happen, and we can’t wait to meet you there.
