WordCamp’s Moving Uptown to SCAD!

We’re excited to announce that we’re moving WordCamp Atlanta to the center of Atlanta’s creative community, the Savannah College of Art and Design! Thanks to them, we have a larger space with free parking and some of the city’s best art from students around the world.

Named one of the nation’s “Most Interesting Schools” and one of “25 cutting-edge schools with an eye toward the future” by Kaplan-Newsweek, SCAD offers more degree programs and specializations than any other art and design university in the United States on campuses in Savannah and Atlanta, GA., in Lacoste, France, and soon Hong Kong. Their recently opened Digital Media Center in Atlanta offers a professional experience in animation, interactive design and game development, motion media design, visual effects and broadcast production. So when we say this new location is awesome, we mean it.
