Build Better WordPress Sites with Full Site Editing: Twenty Twenty-Five + Ollie
2026-06-16 17:00 - 19:00 | Corporate Coworking, 5725 S Valley View Blvd Suite 6, Las Vegas, NV 89118, United States, Las Vegas, NV, 89118, US
Join us for the next Vegas WordPress Meetup on June 16th 6pm at Corporate Coworking (entrance from the back door) for a fun, relaxed session open to all skill levels—whether you’re just getting started or have been building sites for years.
This time, John Hawkins will present:
Build Better WordPress Sites with Full Site Editing: Twenty Twenty-Five + Ollie
WordPress has changed a lot over the last few years, and Full Site Editing is one of the biggest shifts in how we build, customize, and manage WordPress websites.
In this meetup, we’ll take a practical, hands-on look at Full Site Editing using two modern block themes: Twenty Twenty-Five, the official WordPress default theme, and Ollie, a popular block theme built around patterns, global styles, and faster site building.
We’ll explore how the Site Editor works, how templates and template parts fit together, how global styles can control typography and colors across a site, and how block patterns can speed up the design process without relying on heavy page builder plugins.
This session is for WordPress users, designers, developers, freelancers, agency owners, content editors, and anyone curious about the future of WordPress site building. Whether you are still using classic themes, experimenting with block themes, or wondering if Full Site Editing is ready for real client work, this meetup will give you a clearer understanding of what is possible today.
We’ll cover:

What Full Site Editing is and why it matters
How block themes differ from classic WordPress themes
Using the Twenty Twenty-Five theme to understand the WordPress-native FSE experience
Using Ollie to see how modern block themes can improve workflow
Templates, template parts, global styles, and patterns
Practical pros and cons of building with FSE
When Full Site Editing makes sense — and when it may not
Open discussion, questions, and shared experiences from the group

The goal is not just to watch a demo, but to have a real conversation about how WordPress is evolving and how we can use these tools in practical, professional, and sustainable ways.
Bring your questions, your opinions, your curiosity, and your WordPress war stories.

WordPress Full Site Editing
2026-06-16 17:00 - 19:00 | Corporate Coworking Las Vegas, 5725 S Valley View Blvd Suite 7, Las Vegas, NV, 89118, US
Join us for a practical introduction to **WordPress Full Site Editing** using the **Twenty Twenty-Five** and **Ollie** block themes.
We’ll explore the Site Editor, templates, template parts, global styles, and patterns, while comparing the default WordPress block theme experience with a more polished modern block theme workflow. This session is ideal for WordPress users, developers, designers, freelancers, content editors, and anyone curious about where WordPress site building is headed.
We’ll also leave time for questions and open discussion, so bring your experiences, challenges, and opinions about Full Site Editing, block themes, and the future of WordPress.
This time, we’ll dive into the evolution of WordPress (community edition) from 2021 to today. What changed? What got better? And where is it all headed next? Expect real talk, shared experiences, and a few “wow, I forgot about that!” moments.
Come hang out, learn something new, and connect with the local Vegas WordPress community. 🚀
P.S.: Yes, we are going to talk about AI in the WP ecosystem. 🤓

This isn’t traditional networking — it’s intentional connection with structure.
Each month, we gather on the first Wednesday to create real conversations, build meaningful relationships, and practice showing up as ourselves in business — without pressure, performance, or pretending.
Inside the Coffee Club, you’ll experience:

Guided conversations that make connections feel natural
Intentional introductions so you’re remembered, not overlooked
Space to practice talking about your work with clarity and confidence
A room of women entrepreneurs building brands and businesses aligned with who they are

There’s no forced selling and no awkward elevator pitches.Just enough structure to help real relationships form — and room to be human.
Created by the founders of Be You Brand Live, this monthly gathering is designed to support real connection, confidence, and visibility in between larger moments and events.
This meetup is ideal for:

Women entrepreneurs, founders, coaches, creatives, and service providers
Business owners building visibility and community in Las Vegas
Women who want a connection that feels grounded, aligned, and supportive

Come as you are.Leave more connected, clearer in your message, and supported in your journey.

The GPS Summit (Growth & Profit Strategy Summit), hosted by BREATHE! Exp, is a three-day professional development program designed to bridge the gap between AI theory and practical business application. It is billed as the world’s first certification program for AI Systems Generalists.

Core Objective

The summit focuses on training “high-potential” employees (HiPos) to become internal AI leaders who can redesign workflows and implement automated systems across various departments, including operations, finance, marketing, and HR. Unlike technical programs that focus on coding, this summit emphasizes applied intelligence and cross-functional leadership.

Program Highlights

AI Systems Generalist Certification: Participants undergo intensive training to earn a global certification, proving their ability to guide enterprise-wide AI adoption.

90-Day Transformation Roadmap: The summit concludes with attendees creating a structured blueprint to deliver measurable organizational impact within three months of returning to their companies.

Target Audience: The event is specifically designed for mid-market companies looking to develop internal talent rather than relying on external consultants.

Key Themes: The curriculum centers on “The Four Powers” and focuses on systems thinking, connecting strategy to execution, and building prototypes.

Upcoming Event Details

Date: May 2026.

Location: Las Vegas, NV.

Registration: Limited capacity to ensure a high-quality, immersive learning environment.

Previous iterations of the summit have been held in early 2025 and 2026 as part of BREATHE! Exp’s broader series of technology and growth-focused events.

Metal vs SpriteKit, or more AI talk
2026-05-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Grouchy John’s Coffee, 8520 South Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV, 89123, US
I will have a presentation and sample code ready that shows how to use Metal and SpriteKit in SwiftUI based apps. But if the crowd prefers to talk more about using AI to build apps we will do that instead and save the presentation for another time.
Let’s meet Grouchy John’s Coffee shop at “8520 S Maryland Pkwy” to have a show-n-tell of sorts to discuss what we are all using (or not using) in the realm of AI to help us with our app development.
Got something you want to show off?
Got some questions you want help answering?
Then join us!
I might even buy you a beverage if you arrive early.
