Why we community?

WordPress Community taught me diversity, provided support when I needed it the most, and gave me friends for life. Spreading the word and being involved is my mission to give back.
A personal story on how our community changed my life for the better.

Building a Sustainable Community through Meetups

Join us for a panel discussion with community organizers from the WordPress ecosystem. You’ll hear firsthand experiences from meetup and event organizers about what it’s like to start a meetup program and build a community through in-person and virtual events. They’ll talk about the struggles they’ve faced, what they’ve learned from them, and share advice for anyone interested in getting involved, whether that means joining a meetup or even launching one yourself.
