Overview of GatherPress
Community is vital to any open source ecosystem. It jumpstarts projects and careers, keeps us encouraged, and helps us move forward together. GatherPress started with the idea that the platform we use to gather should be open too.
GatherPress is a free, open source event management plugin designed by the WordPress community for WordPress and its community. Over several years it has grown into a project built by contributors around the world, used by user groups, book clubs, performing groups, and more.

GatherPress officially debuts at WordCamp US 2024

It seemed only fitting that our anniversary was during the week of WordCamp US, where our plugin was officially recognized as a WordPress community project. It was exciting walking in as a “Table Lead” at WordCamp US Contributor Day and finding the table I would manage with the GatherPress team that would be in attendance. In addition to that, we had a few folks from our team on Zoom, as well as some first time contributors that were participating…
