Inside WordCamp Europe 2025: Unveiling Surprising Innovations and Secrets from Basel’s Biggest WordPress Event
- On average 60 attendees per meetup.
- 85% attendance rate.
- Biggest ever meetup had 100+ people.
What’s even more impressive? This meetup had been abandoned for three years and used to only attract around 15 people per meeting. Here’s how they turned it around:
1. Meet the community
Come to WordCamps, go to meetups, learn what the community is like and how these meetings are supposed to feel. This also helps meet potential sponsors, mentors, and speakers.
2. Create an organizing team
Don’t do it by yourself, but with a team. Try to find people with complementary skills and who are motivated and committed. Divide responsibilities among the team, that way, nobody is indispensable. Rotate responsibilities, so if one person is missing, the meetup can still happen.
