At every conference and event I&#8217;ve ever been I&#8217;ve always found myself enjoying the conversations I have with old friends (and new friends alike!) <strong>about a topic that just isn&#8217;t on the schedule<\/strong> &#8211; or just wouldn&#8217;t be suitable for a scheduled session.  While these conversations are awesome, <em>you still need to know who to talk to!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;re kicking off something we call the <strong>Hallway Track<\/strong>, the Hallway track is the 3rd stream of &#8220;sessions&#8221; running all day, with much less structured content. It&#8217;s a time to bring people with similar interests and to connect like minded people, and to give the newcomers a chance to connect with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What &#8220;Hallway&#8221; talks are there?<strong> <\/strong><\/em>Well, that&#8217;s where <strong>you<\/strong> come in &#8211; we want to hear what topics and groups of people you want to connect with!<br>We&#8217;ve thought up a few topics, but we&#8217;d like to get as many up on the board before the weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s just a few ideas we came up with: (These aren&#8217;t yet scheduled &#8211; if they look interesting and you&#8217;d like to lead it, make sure to lock it in!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>eCommerce<\/strong> Do you run an store? Sell online using WooCommerce, or even Magento? Why not connect with others who are in a similar situation to you? <\/li><li><strong>Developing with Gutenberg<\/strong> Are you plugin author? A curious user? Maybe you&#8217;re not sure where to start? Wouldn&#8217;t it be good to chat with others who have <em>been there, done that<\/em>?<\/li><li><strong>Do you use a Page Builder?<\/strong> Is it Divi? Elementor? Would you like to meet others who also use it? Learn something new, find out about an extra extension that you&#8217;ve missed!<\/li><li><strong>How do I run a successful WordPress meetup?<\/strong> We&#8217;ve all been along to a meetup before and thought <em>I could do this!<\/em> but have you ever pondered the questions of <em>How do I do that? How do I help?<\/em> Let&#8217;s get together and talk it out!<\/li><li><strong>Do you use Joomla!, Drupal, or another CMS?<\/strong> Do you want to meet other people who use <em>your<\/em> favourite tool of choice? Why not find out if there&#8217;s others to learn from!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sessions are to be organised <em>by you<\/em>, we won&#8217;t be providing you with a projector, room, microphone, or be recording it. We&#8217;ll just advertise it to everyone else at what time and what place to find each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll be treating this as a separate track, running all day 10am to 4.30pm, maximum of 1 topic at any given time.<br>The <a href=\"https:\/\/2019.brisbane.wordcamp.org\/schedule\/\">Schedule<\/a> has been updated with the extra track, if there isn&#8217;t something showing in the <em>Hallway Trac<\/em>k slot you can claim that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We expect that the <em>popular topics<\/em> will be during the Breaks, and request that if a topic is during sessions, that the time align with the presentation schedule and not overlap or compete against a presented topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">If this sounds like something you&#8217;d like, comment below with your preferred topic and timeslot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hallway Track?
