It was early 2013 when a group of young WordPress enthusiasts in Pokhara came together, formed a community, and organized a small gathering. Beginning in 2016, the group became even more active and started conducting meetups on a monthly basis, especially in classrooms of various colleges. They used to get wonderful responses on such occasions. Encouraged by such responses, the group is organizing a grand WordPress Pokhara Seminar today, on 20 March 2018.
This meetup happening today will see the participation of various distinguished national and international speakers, representatives from various IT companies in Pokhara, students who are currently pursuing an IT degree and those willing to make a career in IT, and other WordPress enthusiasts numbering more than 150 altogether.

Similarly, Chitra Raj Bhandari is delivering a session on ‘Making a Profitable Website Through Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO)’. Likewise, Mahadev Subedi is giving a presentation on ‘How to Secure WordPress‘.
