I am sure it will be. One thing the three of us (the WomenWhoWP organizers) did is not sit together. We made a concerted effort to be friendly to the new people and introduce them.

You're right. The friendships that emerge from WordPress related events are amazing. But it was initially terrifying for me (2013) so I went with a friend.

I cannot wait to hear how this event went. I'm sure there will be great stories of friendship and encouragement.
