Organising digital events in the Mautic Community
Published in Mautic
Rewind just over two years and we were about to organise our first ever Mautic World Conference - MautiCon for short - at Acquia's head office in Boston. Then came the global pandemic, and two years of varying lockdown levels, forcing many communities to pivot unexpectedly from the in-person events which are the lifeblood of an Open Source community to finding a way to digitise these events.
In the Mautic community, we had never organised an in-person event, let alone a digital event, so it was definitely breaking new ground!
Having now run two successful events, I have promised several folks to write up how we did it....so herewith the long overdue writeup!
