Venue

GridAKL are awesome and are consistently sponsoring our meetup venue, so we are in the same, beautiful place. Thanks @GridAKL and @ATEED

Auckland Central @ GridAKL (capacity 100 attendees). Public / roadside parking within 5 minute walk in Wynyard Quarter. There are roadworks ongoing around this area so bear that in mind when planning your journey.

There is no alcohol license at GridAKL, so we can all head down to the pub (Jack Tar) straight after the Meetup.

GridAKL can run multiple meetups on the same night - double check you're at the right meetup space, there is a chalkboard with directions as you walk in the main door.

If you haven't attended a WordPress Meetup before, bring a friend along and join us to meet and mingle with other WordPress bloggers, developers, agencies, students and community members.
