WordPress Meetup Groups in Atlanta
We have several WordPress Meetups, held all over the Metro-Atlanta area. These Meetups feature specific topics geared to the various levels ranging from beginners through developers.The Meetups are a good way to learn more about WordPress and how to use it, whatever your level is. If you have some degree of proficiency, WordPress Meetups are a great way to share your WordPress knowledge with others by getting involved and speaking. A good number of our WordCamp speakers are drawn from speakers from our local Meetups.
Sign up at Meetup.org and search for WordPress Atlanta where you can find and join our various local WordPress Meetup Groups. You will then receive e-mails announcing the groups and their monthly topics. You can come to one or all. We have included a list with links to some of them below.
Rather than just waiting for our yearly WordCamp event, we encourage you to check the topics and get to the Meetups if you are interested in getting involved with WordPress and WordCamps. We are a very diverse group in every way and would love to have you get involved.
