Join us for an informative evening as we welcome Ruth Kalinka, a seasoned Philly WordPress Meetup member, globe-trotting designer, content strategist, and polyglot, for an engaging conversation moderated by Rachel Winchester, organizer for WordCamp US 2023. Together, they'll delve into their recent experience at WordCamp US, offering insights and takeaways from this major WordPress event. Whether you attended or missed WordCamp US, this discussion will keep you in the loop with the latest developments in the WordPress community.

Additionally, Ruth will share her ambitious plans for WordCamp Europe in Torino, Italy. She has many thoughts on flagship WordCamps, connecting with our global community, and stepping outside ourselves to connect with each other. Life is an improvisational adventure unfolding every day. A plan is just what gets us out the door or heading in a direction, it is not something to hold onto rigidly. Adventure happens when we let it. Ruth lives by several principles, including:

* Everything works out.

(Yes, always. Even if we don't know what that looks like.)

* We are always in the right place at the right time.

(Yes, even when not at all on schedule or following "the plan".)

* Strangers are just friends we haven't yet met.

Her global perspective and passion for WordPress make this conversation a must-attend event for anyone looking to stay connected and inspired within the WordPress community.
