At a WordCamp in 2011, Simon got in touch with other WordPress people for the first time. He started his first local Meetup one year later and has never stopped. Now, more than ten years later, after more than 200 facilitated in-person, online, and hybrid events, Simon looks back on one of the most rewarding and enjoyable hobbies he could have wished for.
Now he combined his own experiences with the knowledge and tricks of other meetup organizers. This talk aims to help anyone interested in starting local meetups, revitalizing dormant groups, and building strong and sustainable local communities.
