With the lockdown and COVID-19 prohibition on gatherings, SA tech meetup organisers have had to start thinking out-of-the-box about how they’re going to bring their communities together. Since these events occur more frequently than bigger conferences, the community relies on them to keep connected and informed. This means that organisers have to spend time thinking about the best solutions for bringing their communities together online in a way that actually helps them learn and connect.

Our events team spoke to local meetup organisers to find out about the challenges they’re encountering trying to keep their communities engaging, and how they’re planning on adjusting their meetups to add value remotely.

The peeps who joined us for this chat were:

• JoziJS organisers: Gergana Young, Mike Geyser and Sheena O’Connell
• She Can Do organiser: Inez Patel
• Cape Town Front-End Developers organisers: Justin Slack and Schalk Venter
• PHP meetup and WordPress CPT organiser: Jonathan Bossenger
