We hosted our very first Divi Network Meetup this month! Or, as we endearingly call it, our “Mega Meetup.” Did you catch it? Spearheaded by Divi Sacramento and accompanied by Divi Atlanta, Divi Chicago, Divi Los Angeles, and Divi Salt Lake City, all 56 Divi meetup groups were invited and we had quite the turnout!

Attendees: 281

October was a big month for the Divi Meetup Network! We held our first official Mega Meetup – a collaborative event headed up by Divi Sacramento, with co-organization by Divi Chicago, Divi Salt Lake City, Divi Atlanta, and Divi Los Angeles. The theme was “Starting and Building a Divi-based Business”, and included a Q&A-style panel featuring Tim Strifler from Divi Life, Ania Romańska from Divi Lover, Mike Devitt from Divi Chat, and Eric Dingler from Intransit Studios. Some topics included business tips for developers, good business practices for web designers, marketing to new clients, building a client base, and more. If you missed the live event, you can catch the recording here.

Join us next month for our 2nd edition of our Black Friday Bonanza spearheaded by Divi Chicago! More information to come!

Divi DFW this month was focused on the recent Condition Options feature released by Divi. During the meetup discussed how this feature allows you to customize websites based on user behavior and talked about use cases. We demoed an abandoned cart scenario and explained how it was set up. Overall, our group is growing because we’re staying up to date with Divi’s latest features, and have diverse members at all experience levels.

Keep it coming, Tommy and Kent! We love it!

Divi Tampa, Florida, USA

From the Host, Steve Willingham:

Attendees: 7

We had 7 members attending out of 12 sign-ups. Most attendees were from the Tampa Bay [area], but one was connecting from Connecticut. We had very interesting discussions about number 3 showing up in Divi menus and shared a nice solution for that. Also shared our thoughts and joy for the latest Divi update that has full site front-end editing. We shared screens and links to our various sites wherein we shared our questions about the user experience or presentation. All-in-all this was a fun and informative get-together.

Keeping it strong, Divi Tampa!
