EVENTS

Bristol WordPress People runs regular meetups for anyone interested in WordPress and the wider web — whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced professional.

Our events are relaxed, friendly, and community-focused, with plenty of opportunity to learn, ask questions, and meet other people working with (or learning) WordPress in and around Bristol.

We publish all of our events on Meetup.com. Meetup.com is a website that helps people find and create local groups based on shared interests, and is a platform for organizing in-person or online events so people can meet others who like the same things.

You can view our upcoming events on our Meetup page and you will need to register to attend. Registration and attendance are free.

However, before you can register for an event you will need to join our group. This is simple to do and is free.


What to Expect at Our Meetups

Most of our meetups include:

  • A short talk or presentation
  • Practical tips you can use straight away
  • Time for questions and open discussion
  • Informal networking before and after the talks

Some events may also include workshops, panel discussions, or social meetups — we like to keep things varied.

You don’t need to be an expert, and you don’t need to prepare anything in advance. Just come along, listen, and get involved at whatever level feels comfortable for you.


Who Are the Events For?

Our meetups are open to everyone, including:

  • People completely new to WordPress
  • Bloggers and content creators
  • Small business owners and marketers
  • Designers and developers
  • Freelancers and agency teams
  • Students and career-changers

If you’re curious about WordPress, you’ll be very welcome.


Accessibility and Inclusion

We aim to make our events as accessible and inclusive as possible.

Where we can, we:

  • Choose venues with step-free access
  • Clearly share location and travel details in advance
  • Offer online or hybrid events when practical
  • Welcome requests for reasonable adjustments

If you have any access needs or questions before attending, please get in touch via our Contact page and we’ll do our best to help.


Code of Conduct

We have dedicated a page on this site to our Code of Conduct and encourage you to read it before attending an event, and abide by it during any event.

All Bristol WordPress People events follow the WordPress Community Code of Conduct. We are committed to providing a respectful, friendly, and harassment-free environment for everyone.

If you experience or witness anything that concerns you at an event, please speak to an organiser or contact us privately afterwards.
