About us
We're a group of local WordPress developers, designers, and publishers who get together to share our knowledge and experience, and to meet other WordPress users in the area. The WordPress meetup is open to all who love WordPress --- join us!
If you'd like to chat with other Canadian WordPress people, including Hamilton, make sure you join our WordPress Canada Slack team: https://wpslack.ca. It's open to everyone, so come on out! If you want to talk to other members in our Hamilton community, join the #wpYHM channel. We're also developing our very own website, https://wphamont.ca, where we hope to curate all the wonderful talks we've seen and maybe more! If you'd like to contribute, please contact one of the organizers.
We're currently part of the #OnlineWPMeetup community while we run our meetups online for the foreseeable future.
