First WordPress Meetup of Ajmer

It was the first meetup program successfully held on January 7, 2018, at WebTechStreet. We were the 10 attendees with different backgrounds, fields, and workplaces who enthusiastically gathered to do, learn, and share the things we love.

Anand hosted this introductory meetup session to accommodate a community in Ajmer so that people gather, share, and learn about WordPress. The session started at 3 pm by introducing ourselves and our perspectives about WP! Also, apart from the local community of Ajmer, people from nearby cities also came to attend our meetup session. It was a well-organized and well-mentioned session for all of us! This tech conference covered everything about our favorite platform, WordPress, which has a CMS Market share of about 60%. The meetup environment was a calm and enjoyable session of 3 and a half hours, where we sat and talked freely about our different perspectives for WP.

What we’ve discussed?

Starting with an introduction to WordPress, the Speaker delivers the conclusion of WP along with statistics, Formats, Plugins, and a Presentation. This is open-source software that has amazing features for creating Websites, blogs, or even apps. HOW COOL IS THAT!

But why MEETUP?

OKAY! Now that we have been introduced to WordPress and its user-friendly access, why are we planning to meet and organize meetup programs? Here is the answer:

  • 558 WP meetup groups in 86 Countries.

These are the Statics of meetup groups worldwide, which Are organized to share and Enhance Knowledge, Network, Build a Strong Local Community, and Give back to the Community.

Expenses of WordPress Management

WP allows you to make you the most Efficient, Focused, and Successful website owner you can be. There are some myths also that should be cleared as soon as possible! :

  • WordPress is just a blogging platform.
  • WordPress isn’t Scalable.
  • WordPress is not Secure.
  • Managing WordPress is Difficult.
  • WordPress Plugins are unreliable.

What if language becomes the confinement?

Here comes the important feature of WP we discussed so far—LANGUAGE! because “The limits of your language mean the limits of your world.” But with WP, no worries—you can create or access in your own native language. It is available in more than 64 languages, including many Indian languages.

What Next?

We decided on our next topic for the meetup on 4th February. We will discuss developing an e-commerce website with WordPress (using WooCommerce). This will be a long session in which we will try to cover everything from setting up a WooCommerce store to finally managing orders.
Also, 30% of e-stores around the world are powered by WooCommerce!

Highlights of our First Meetup Programme!

After the meetup program, we received swags and badges, which WP had sent to us, cut the cake, and had refreshments. 🙂

This WordPress Meetup is open to all who love WordPress join us!
