Participation in events

List of past and future participations in WordCamp, Meetup and New format events, and other type of events

Independent events, which are not official WordCamp events, are also mentioned (such as WPTech, WPSessions, WordFest Live, Cloudfest/Hackathon).
My role is mentioned when I was a speaker, (co-)organiser, volunteer, microsponsor, or just a simple happy attendee.

I hope those will exist in the future, I would try to attend: WordCamp LATAM, WordCamp Africa.
