On this episode of WPwatercooler, the conversation centers around the evolving landscape of WordPress events like WordCamps and meetups. The panelists discuss the pros and cons of event swag like t-shirts and branded battery packs, pondering if the budget could be better allocated towards enhancing the overall event experience. Suggestions include offering more inclusive food options or even closed captioning services. The discussion also delves into the need for an intermediate event between meetups and WordCamps to help beginners get up to speed. This could be a half-day workshop focused solely on newcomers, aiming to help them overcome the initial roadblocks. The conversation shifts to the social aspects of these events, particularly the after-parties. The team debates the effectiveness of on-site versus off-site after-parties, and how they serve as either a networking opportunity or just a place to unwind. The panelists also reflect on the value of these gatherings beyond the technical talks; it's the "in-between" moments that inspire and build community. Finally, there's a nod towards sustainability, suggesting a move away from non-biodegradable swag. The episode wraps up with some teasers for upcoming WordCamp Long Beach and WPwatercooler's live event at WordCamp Orange County.
