Have you been thinking of ways to gather like-mined folx?<br /><br />Do you currently run a meetup but have found since the pandemic, it’s been hard to keep momentum?<br /><br />Are you already a member of a meetup or interest group looking for ways to make it MIGHTY?<br /><br />In 2012, Alison K started the Creative Kick, a meetup for visual artists. Through trial and error, she learned a TON about community management. Which would come in handy when she started the WordPress Halifax Meetup in 2015. And then -critical- when the pandemic hit.<br /><br />In this talk, she’ll give you the lowdown on how to run healthy, happy, ENGAGED meetups. Some points she’ll cover includes:<br /><br />- how to start from zero (no people, no venue, no $? No problem!)<br />- how to nurture the talents and interests of core members<br />- tips, tools and tricks to give energy and time back to you as an organizer<br />- handling difficult/uncomfortable situations (what to do when adults… need an adult)<br /><br />While this talk will focus on a WordPress meetup, note the information can apply to any interest you want to grow community around!
