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
