About WordFest Live 2022
Organized by a group of volunteers, WordFest Live offers 24 hours of non-stop talks and discussions about WordPress, remote working, and mental well-being.
Talks, panel discussions, and wellness talks comprise the sessions to help you develop life and business skills.
Although I didn’t find it highlighted on this year’s event website, in the past, the online social space allowed you to connect openly with other attendees.
The event begins in Australia, moves on to Asia, then to Africa, followed by Europe, stopping in South America, before finishing in North America.
Part of the goal of WordFest Live is to raise funds for Big Orange Heart, a registered United Kingdom charity.
From their website:
To support and promote positive well-being and mental health within remote working communities.
Did I mention the event is 100% free? There is no cost to attendees.
