It’s been about 2 years since the Covid19 pandemic laid waste to WordCamps, conferences, and other in-person events. As expected, it has taken some time for the world to recover. To be fair, there are some parts of the world that are still working to do so.
In 2022, face-to-face events will begin to happen again. In the WordPress world, two have already been announced: WordCamp Birmingham in Birmingham, AL (#WPYALL) and WordCamp Europe in Porto, Portugal (#WCEU). The whole world will be looking to these two camps to decide whether or not to open up in-person events elsewhere in the world.
For those that are comfortable being around people again, I imagine it will be a wonderful return to some level of normalcy — as long as everyone plays by the rules.
If you happen to be one of those folks, I’d love to see you and meet you! Join me next year at WordCamp Birmingham (tickets now available!) and/or WordCamp Europe 🎉
