Should WordPress events be only about WordPress and not the community?

Earlier this month I organised a WordPress event. It was the first event I organised. It is also the first LGBTQ+ dedicated event in the global community.

One of the most common comments I got from attendees and other community members before and after the event was that the topics were not related to WordPress.

WordCamp Barcelona 2023

I attended WordCamp Barcelona 2023 last weekend, and it was a high dose of inspiration, learning, and discovery.

In case you don’t know, WordCamps are conferences organised around WordPress, and organised locally — except for a few exceptions like WordCamp Europe, which happens once a year.
