As a dedicated meetup organiser within the WordPress community, I have encountered a common challenge that many of us face—rekindling the attendance numbers we once enjoyed before the pandemic disrupted our lives. Attending WordCamp Europe this year and engaging in conversations with fellow community members revealed that I am not alone in this struggle. Even…
