The Diverse Speaker Training group (#WPDiversity) normally trains WordPress meetup organizers how to hold their own Diverse Speaker workshop in order to increase how many speaker applications they get from people from marginalized and underrepresented groups.
During the pandemic, the team is delivering the workshop to the global WordPress community online ourselves.
Each month, we are reporting at the tag #DiverseSpeakerWorkshopsReports how these workshops are going.
