South Florida WordPress Meetup Tonight

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Tonight is the SF WordPress Users Inagural Meetup and I hope you are coming if you are in the area.

I had a few people from the community ask if I would be interested in running a Meetup Group for Wordpress. I have been helping to run the South Florida SEO Meetup for over a year now. I polled the members to see if there would be enough interest. To my surprise, when I asked the 30 or so attendees at the last meeting about 90% said they used WordPress and would be interested in a new Meetup. With that kind of response it was a no brainer.

After setting up the South Florida Wordpress Users Meetup, I was shocked at the level of response it received. The first meeting is tonight and we already have 62 registered users. Over 30 members have RSVP’d “Yes” and another 15 with a “Maybe” they are coming tonight. I can only compare this to the SEO Meetup which took months and months to hit those numbers. As of now, This group (with 0 meetings under its belt) is the 6th largest WordPress Meetup in the World.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone I know and meeting a bunch of new friends. Not to mention all the great WordPress Karma that will be flowing.

Remember more people out there that are blogging than are doing SEO.

True Dean .. Well find out for sure tonight, but from the feedback I have been getting, its a mixed crowd. About a third of the people who RSVD’d “Yes” for tonight don’t even use WordPress yet.
