WordPress Winter 2019 / Vilnius (1st Edition)

It is a 1st edition of the WordPress meetup group event in Vilnius, Lithuania, that run by WordPress local meetup organizer (Kestutis Matuliauskas). WordPress powers more than 34% of the whole web, so this is the best place to share the knowledge between WordPress professionals, as well as to invite newcomers to WordPress.

The first event is dedicated to WordCamp US 2019 conference that will be happened this November. As organizer, I will share my experience what I learned and heard over this conferences, and what's coming next.
Also I will share WordPress swag - bags, stickers, with all those who will come to this meetup, or until the swag will run out.

#roundtable-and-size-of-event
This event will run on roundtable basis, meaning it will be small and will be much more interactive between visitors, as it will look more like colloquium roundtable discussion, than a plain presentation.

#free-consultations
After each event we will have 15 minutes for free technical & non-technical consultations on WordPress / PHP / CSS / OOP / MVC / JS / jQuery / React / Caching / Varnish / Speed Optimization etc. Consultations are given by experienced software architects with Silicon Valley background, so expect for professional advises. The consultations runs on First-Come, First-Serve basis via organizer e-mail, meaning that we announce that on the moment when a new meetup is scheduled.

#no-slides-sharing
You may take a picture of most important slide to you or speaker's contacts, but to keep meetup more viable the full content of meetup can be seen only by coming to it.

Event language: if there will be at least one non-Lithuanian speaker at the event, event language will be English. Otherwise - event will be held in Lithuania language.

Additional speakers: Until the begging of meetup, we will try to invite more WordPress designers & developers / businesses from WordPress world to share their experience, so the speaker list may become longer.

Short URL: You can always find this meetup group via WPVilnius.lt
