What we’re about
The Boston WordPress Meetup is a Meetup group for fans of WordPress, the most popular open source blogging engine. Join us once a month to learn more about WordPress and meet other WP fans, including SEO gurus, theme designers, plugin developers, bloggers, and beginners. Traditionally, we meet at the Microsoft New England Research & Development Center for a presentation, Q&A session, and casual networking. When we don't have a formal event planned, join us for informal social events at nearby restaurants and pubs.
Boston WordPress events are held in the evenings, on the last Monday of every month, unless otherwise noted.
