WordCamps are great. It’s a place where you can meet fellow WordPress enthusiasts in your area, get to learn new things, and share your own knowledge from your own unique experiences with using WordPress… But did you know that you don’t have to wait one whole year before doing this again? 🙂
WordPress Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Anything that brings together 2 or more people to share their WordPress experiences counts.
The difference between meetups and WordCamps are:
- Meetups are more frequent.
- The attendees are in smaller groups where you can spend more time getting to know people and grow your WP network.
- There are a variety of talks every time.
- You can also share your knowledge to others by speaking, without the pressure of doing it in front of an assembly of 300 people.
- Meetups take a few of hours after work or on a weekend instead of a whole day.
- The location can change so it can be closer to your home or office!
- It’s fun to volunteer for smaller events too!
- Did we already mention that it’s more frequent? 🙂
