Organising a WordPress meetup in your local area is a great way to meet other people in your community, to bounce ideas off each other, and stay updated with how others are using WordPress. But it can be tricky figuring out how to spread the word and encourage people to attend.
In this talk, you’ll find out how the organisers of Brighton’s local WordPress meetup, WordUp, created a successful regular monthly event where everyone is welcome.
This talk covers:
- Choosing, setting up and optimising online marketing channels (e.g. Meetup.com, Twitter, Slack, a website)
- Reaching more people and being more inclusive
- Why, when and how to encourage sponsors to get involved
- What a successful meetup looks like
Whether you run an established WordPress meetup or are just thinking about starting one up, this talk will have practical ideas you can apply to your own local area.
