Download the Revised Schedule

We’re starting at 9 AM today, for safety reasons. This does mean the schedule is being pushed back.

• Because of the weather, we are accepting late registrations, as well as walkups. You must have exact change to register onsite.
• T-shirt and bag pickup is today for people who purchased earlybird or regular tickets, as well as speakers.
• It is required that each attendee WEAR THEIR BADGE on the SCAD campus for security reasons, as well as for lunch. If you do not have your badge, you cannot get lunch.
• Lunch is being provided by SCAD in the Hub. It is directly across from the two rooms on the second floor.
• If there is any trouble, the trouble desk is at the registration table. Please use it, and someone will contact either Brandon or Tessa.
• If you are a sponsor w/literature, please notify someone at the registration table. It’s very important, and we want you to get everything out of your sponsorship.

Yes, there is an afterparty. It’s being held at TAP, at 1180 Peachtree ST NW, 30309. We’re heading over there very quickly (it’s cold!) after sessions end today.

Things are going well at WordCamp Atlanta! We’re lining up additional sponsors, secured excellent airfare and hotel deals for you with Georgia Tech and AirTran, and have already confirmed some of the best speakers out there. We’re releasing the schedule, as well as additional awesome speakers this week.  All of this planning is going into making #wcatl one of the best WordCamps ever!

But that doesn’t mean we’re done with speakers! We’re still looking for speakers for the unconference-like lighting rounds portion of the event for Friday night, as well as speakers aiming for the beginner track focusing on design, user experience, and development of  themes/plugins. We also want a diverse pool of talent, so if you’re new to this, don’t be shy! Put a proposal in! You never know what will happen.

Submit your presentation!

If you’re wanting to speak at WordCamp Atlanta, you just got an extra week! We’ve received a lot of interest in speaking, and as well, a lot of interest. While we’re busy preparing for the camp, we wanted to give potential speakers more time to prepare and send in their proposals.

The new deadline for submissions is Friday, December 11 by midnight.

Remember, we’re looking for new, fresh content that hasn’t been seen before, as well as a diverse pool of talent, including designers, developers, enterprise users, marketers, and more. You can have either a full length presentation for Saturday, or a shorter (no more than 20 min) lightning presentation on Friday night.

If you’re ready to submit a proposal, head over to the call for speakers form now!
