The WordPress User meet up returns for another month. The User Meetup covers all things related to using your WordPress site, such as Themes, Plugins and general content management.
We’re always looking for new speakers, so contact the organisers in the meetup.com sidebar if you have an idea for a talk. We usually start the night with a light meal before the talks.

Simon Kelly – Building Marketing Automation Funnels with WordPress
Simon is passionate about using technology, strategic design and automation to create simple marketing systems that generate leads.
After freelance web designing since 2007, Simon founded Renegade Empire in 2009 to focus on building websites that get business results. When not working with his team to build sites, Simon rollerblades and pretends he can surf.
Simon will be talking about things falling through funnels. Hopefully those things will be potential customers.
