WordPress Virtual Meetup Calendar

WP User Groups
WP Meetup Meetings
Zoom Meetings


One positive benefit to come from the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic is that most WordPress user groups embraced the change to an online format! You can search Meetup.com for the topic "WordPress" to discover that there are over 1,500 WordPress user groups around the world. WordPress.org directly sponsors over half of those groups: www.Meetup.com/pro/WordPress.

Here is a calendar of some upcoming virtual meetings, mostly using Zoom, for WordPress user groups. Attendance varies in size from 5 to 50, and attendees vary in their levels of experience from "Now what?".to writing code without bothering to look it up.

...I am listing only meetups that have descriptions in English and ignoring those in other languages, such as Spanish. The times I see below are for Florida (Eastern Time Zone).


 
IMPORTANT: I maintain this calendar for my personal use, and it is NOT complete and NOT official. Use this as a starting place for discovering which user groups you would like to "visit."  I did not belong to these groups before Covid-19. Again, visit Meetup.com/pro/WordPress to find a group that is local for you and may be meeting in person.

I found another website that maintains an online calendar of virtual events at WPCalendar.io that lists 1,132 WordPress "communities" in 110 countries. The home page gives you country filters.

I've met really nice people and I am exposed to different perspectives of WordPress tips and techniques!  I attended one meetup in December that motivated me to find a new analogy [I wrote about it at ABCInc.pw].

My biggest challenge is keeping the time zones straight. WP Meetups are initially listed in their local time zone, and often only after I add it to my personal (local) calendar I can make sense of the schedule. This is a public calendar, and you can link it to your own personal Google Calendar.

Please help me keep this current! You can write [To] Rick.Jaggers@abcinc.pw with the [Subject] "WP Meetup Info."
