WP Tavern

A podcast conversation between Nathan Wrigley and Simon Pollard about the state of WordPress Meetups and community events post-pandemic. Simon shares his personal journey organizing the Bristol WordPress Meetup, how COVID-19 effectively ended its momentum, and his recent return to the community. They discuss why attendance hasn't recovered to pre-2020 levels, the fragmentation of social media making outreach harder, the role AI is playing in reducing community-driven knowledge sharing, and ideas for revitalizing events by mixing in music, entertainment, and non-WordPress talks to attract broader audiences.
