Meetup: Tampa Bay (formerly St. Petersburg)

Featured Speaker: Jim True 

Open time to meet with the other folks in St Petersburg/Pinellas, WordPress Developer/Designer/Freelance Community. We’re doing a scheduled talk/workshop later in the month, so take the time this first part of April to get to know the other members in the group.

Have a problem? Bring it to the meeting and hash it out with others. Want to just network? You have time for that, too.

Meetup Location: Iron Yard St. Pete is in the Station House, a 4 story building at 260 1st Avenue S. You get to the Iron Yard by taking the gold/brass elevator facing 1st Avenue up to the 3rd Floor. The 2nd Floor also houses Station Houses’s CoWorking Space. Parking in St Pete is free after 6PM on the street in most areas; if you’re parking in a garage, use Muvico/Sundial parking as it’s cheaper.

Focus: Our St Pete Meetups are more geared toward the professional, freelancer or agency owner. We talk more specifically about getting your skills up to run your business, using WordPress to take you to your next level, and beefing up your WordPress Design/Development skills. This is not a Beginner to WordPress Meetup; you should know how to manage themes and plugins and be building sites on a semi-regular basis.

Format: Our Meetups in St Pete start at 6:00pm, the first 30 minutes are to give folks time to make it downtown, park, get through traffic, so they’ll be primarily for networking and free discussion. If we have a scheduled talk, we’ll always start right at 6:30pm and continue to 7:30pm or a bit beyond.
