Attendees

Greetings WPCampus attendee!

We can’t wait to learn more about you, your institution, and how you use WordPress. This page is your one-stop shop for attendee information, so check back often.

How to contact event staff

Go to the event contact page to learn how to contact event staff by phone or email.

What you need to know

Here’s an outline of everything on the page to help keep you informed before and during the event.

We provide lunch, snacks, and enough breaks so you have time to use the restroom, stretch your legs, talk to other attendees, and chat with our amazing sponsors. In the evenings, we have social events to allow you to network and relax with other attendees.

Don’t forget to set your email auto-reply!

Talk with other attendees

Not in our Slack account? Our Get Involved form will take care of that for you.

Donate and support a local organization

Starting in 2018, WPCampus began a tradition of donating a portion of our event budget to a local charity instead of providing attendees with conference swag. We will announce our chosen organization soon. Learn about last year’s donation process.

Lend a hand?

WPCampus depends on our volunteers to make this event a success. There are lots of ways you can help us out. Please let us know if you’d like to volunteer at the event.

Order the event t-shirt

If you can’t join us in person, you can still get your own event t-shirt!

We will make the t-shirt available online so you can have the shirt delivered straight to your home.

Joining us in person? If requested, you will receive a shirt as part of your registration. But if you want to order more from the online options? Go for it!

Check-in for the conference

You will need to check in to receive your conference ID badge. Your badge is your golden ticket of admission to all the fun!

Check-in will be before workshops on Wednesday, July 31, and the morning of Thursday, August 1.

Your ID badge must be worn at all sessions and conference events.

Get on the Wifi network

We will post Wifi information closer to the event.

Share your event photos

We encourage you to peruse or post your event photos to the official photo album, which will be posted closer to the event.

Social gatherings

What’s the fun of attending so many awesome sessions if you can’t hang out with the other attendees, talk about what you learned, and expand on it? We look forward to getting to know you, so we hope you can join us for a few social and networking events.

We will post social event information soon.

Explore our conference Google map

We always assemble a Google map of places in town for adventure and food. Georgetown University provided this map.

Meals

General admission includes lunch on Thursday, August 1, and Friday, August 2, with coffee and snacks throughout the day. Light breakfast hor d’oeuvres will be served. If you want a larger breakfast, you should eat before you head to the venue.

We will provide a snack break if you attend a workshop on Wednesday.

The weather forecast

We will post the weather forecast closer to the event.
