August WordPress Developer Meetup: I'm an imposter because...

This month’s WordPress developer meetup is all about imposter syndrome. We’ve decided to get some presenters in who are far better suited to talk about it than us.

It’s a seriously good line up, talking about living with, the cost of and getting over imposter syndrome.

Agenda

6:30 Arrive, mingle, chit chat, pizza scoffing (thank you envato)
