WordPress Meetups: Networking and Learning Opportunities
The WordPress Meetups are free events open to everyone, where the local community gathers to share knowledge, network, and learn together. In October, similar events were held not only in Catania but also in Milan, Pisa, Genoa, Cagliari, Naples, Brescia, Reggio Emilia, Ancona, and Vicenza.
These meetings are aimed at anyone using WordPress, whether for work or hobby, regardless of experience level or profession. Whether you are a developer, blogger, publisher, designer, or simply curious, the WordPress Meetup is the ideal place to learn more about the world of WordPress. Events may vary and include presentations, hackathons, coworking, and development sessions on WordPress.
Optimizing for Global Markets: Multilingual SEO Strategies
The session by Andrea Motta was preceded by a presentation from Simone Catania, Global Content & Communications Manager at InterNetX, who spoke about the classification and market trends of domain names. This talk provided the perfect context for Motta’s subsequent presentation titled “Multilingual SEO: Strategies and Plugins for Multi-Language Sites.”
During his talk, Andrea Motta outlined the best strategies for optimising multilingual sites. In an increasingly globalised world, it is essential to optimise sites for different languages and markets to reach an international audience. Andrea illustrated how proper site architecture, localised keyword research, and the use of the hreflang attribute are fundamental for effective multilingual SEO.
He also presented various WordPress tools and plugins—including GTranslate, WPML, and Polylang—useful for managing multilingual sites, providing participants with practical solutions to address the challenges of internationalisation.
An Engaged and Attentive Audience: Questions and Insights from the Meetup
Andrea’s presentation sparked great interest and engagement from the audience, with numerous questions and requests for further insights. This was not Andrea Motta’s first time discussing multilingual and international SEO. His lecture at the Academy of SEO Tester Online and his interview for Moka Adv had already solidified his role as an expert in the field, confirming his extensive expertise on these topics.
Knowledge Sharing and Networking Opportunities in Catania
At the end of the event, Andrea Motta expressed his satisfaction with the participation and engagement of the audience: “After spending so many years abroad, it is a pleasure to hold events of this level in my city and share my expertise with the local community. Events like these – Motta continued – are not only useful for learning but also for networking, meeting people, and creating synergies for future projects. I thank WordPress for their hospitality and hope to continue contributing to the growth of the local digital community.”
