Giulia Tosato is Community Manager and event organizer. She is active in the Italian WordPress Community, she is the organizer and speaker of Meet-ups and WordCamp. Here are her profiles on Linkedin , WordPress.org and Twitter . Q1. What is your background and what drew you to WordPress? I started dealing with communication and digital marketing for a small company about ten years ago, and on that occasion I discovered WordPress, which at the time was simply a tool for my work. When I went freelance, WordPress became a professional necessity of ever-increasing importance. The contact with the community came some time later, when I started attending events (in particular, the freelancecamp ) and I was lucky enough to meet people who were already part of the Italian community, when it was being reconstituted . At the center of my work today are community management and event organisation.
The basis of my profession are years of study and experience as a Country Email List communication and digital marketing specialist: definition of strategies, creation and dissemination of content. Freelancer by vocation, today in a happily "monogamous" relationship with a company that organizes events and training courses. In the WordPress community, in addition to being the lead organizer of WordCamp Verona 2018, I participate in the "Community" team: I co-organize a meetup and do everything I can to help others do the same, I have participated in the organization of several WordCamps. D2. How and when did you start organizing events like WordCamp? The first WordCamp I attended was in Turin in 2016. I went to this first WordCamp without knowing anyone, so I decided to participate immediately as a volunteer: it seemed like a great way to get involved, make friends, make myself useful.
I liked the idea of getting involved, of having an active role, but I certainly couldn't have imagined how active I would become! Those two days were literally a revelation: I met so many wonderful people, I felt part of something big, I felt involved, included, responsible. I fell in love with the community and immediately wanted to do something more: so when Carola Speri asked me to organize the Verona WordPress Meetup together (the monthly meeting of the local community), I was immediately enthusiastic. Today the monthly event in Verona continues regularly, and 20 to 40 people participate in each evening. From this meetup the WordCamp Verona of 12-13 October 2018 was born , which I organized together with Carola and a fantastic team of people I met at the meetup.
