#WPGLOBAL Meetup - April 2022 (previously Virtual #WPLDN)

🎙 We’ve announced the return to physical events for #WPLDN this month and as such the Virtual #WPLDN we’ve been delivering is rebranding to become #WPGLOBAL.

Big Orange Heart will now deliver both #WPLDN (physical) and #WPGLOBAL (virtual) as monthly events - the last Thursday and second Thursday of the month respectively.

#WPGLOBAL will continue to deliver the virtual events you’ve come to know through what was Virtual #WPLDN - with a wider focus on our global community. If you’re interested in joining the team or becoming a speaker, check out the announcement post for details.

This month we’re kicking off with two North American speakers - Amanda Gorman and Lindsey Miller.

The event will be delivered via https://live.bigorangeheart.org/. Access to this platform will be made available from 30-minutes before the event is scheduled to start.

★ The Sessions

✍️ - How to Help Your Nonprofit (or Nonprofit Clients) Connect with More Donors

Of the millions of nonprofit organizations in the world today, 58% of them use WordPress. The question becomes: how does one nonprofit stand out from another, especially when many are competing for the same donor attention? In this talk we’ll over some key principles for optimizing your nonprofit online fundraising strategy to connect with more donors.

✍️ - How to Know If You’re Working with a Shady Agency

I hate to see it and I’ve seen it all. Companies that refuse to release site analytics, sites built in such a convoluted way that they’re almost impossible to update, and even clients not having admin access on their own websites!

I don’t want this experience for anyone. Whether you are looking to work with an agency Or if you are an agency that needs to think about the way you work, this is for you.

You’ll learn:

• How to spot shady agency red flags
• Tips for the best possible breakup
• What to look for in a good agency
• How to form a great partnership with your agency
