WordPress London Meetup - April 2018 - #WPLDN

April 26, 2018

18:30

This month we’re looking at what it takes to organise a WordCamp, events that are held by and for the WordPress community. We’ll also be taking a look at the WP-CLI and how you can manage sites, plugins and themes via the command line.

**NEW PODCAST & VENUE**

#WPLDN has a new Podcast. Hear from this month’s speakers and find out more about what to expect at the event: https://www.wpldn.uk/podcast/1-organising-a-wordcamp-an-intro-to-wp-cli

We’re in our new venue again this month. Yes, the WordPress London Meetup has moved to a new home. We’re pleased to be partnering with Cloudflare and using their meeting space for #WPLDN events. This is the building you’ll be looking for: https://goo.gl/maps/tjttZSvgnKt There will be a slightly lower number of space available for attendees, so if for whatever reason you can’t join us, please do free up your space.

A huge language nerd, she is currently learning Japanese (having passed the JLPT N5 in Dec 2016, now working towards N4 for Dec 2017), and reading as much as she can on linguistics and poetry. When not doing language-based activities, you can find her doing photography, being passionate about disability rights, and babbling excitedly about unicorns on Twitter.
