My friend Andrea Middleton has an incredibly complex job leading a diverse organization of volunteer event organizers located around the globe in her role as Dot Organizer for the WordPress community.

A job she does with grace, thoughtfulness and caring since 2011.

The events are called WordCamps and there is typically 1-2 going on every weekend throughout the year around the world.

In fact there have been over 1,000 WordCamps, in 75 cities, 65 countries and 6 continents since they started in 2006.

We talk about a number of topics like:

* Leading volunteers

* Managing conflict

* Keys of effective conference organizers ("hosts")

* and more
