We wanted to send some important bits of info to get you ready for WordCamp on Saturday. If you are unable to attend, please remember to modify your reservation to give others the chance to register for this informative day-long event bringing dozens of experts together to talk about the latest WordPress advances and online best practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where to Go and When<\/b><\/h3>\n

WordCamp YYZ is at the <\/span>North York Civic Centre<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>5100 Yonge St.) <\/span>whic<\/span>h is set back from Yonge St. on the west side and fronted by Mel Lastman\u2019s Square, north of Yonge and Sheppard. For a map click here<\/a>. There is <\/span>paid parking<\/span><\/a> on the west side of the building on Beecroft St.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are taking transit, get off at <\/span>North York subway station<\/b> and take the exit marked Mel Lastman\u2019s Square<\/a>. The Civic Centre is between the centre for performing arts on the south, a pool on the west and a library on the north. WordCamp is in the lower level. For driving directions click <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Volunteers arrive at 8 AM and registration begins at 9 AM in the Council Chamber Foyer at the lower level of the Civic Centre.<\/b> There are many entrances so we will have volunteers in purple t-shirts stationed at the doors to help you navigate this large complex.<\/span><\/p>\n

Opening remarks will be at 10 AM <\/b>in Council Chambers with the <\/span>first session starting at 10:30<\/b>. You can check out our <\/span>website<\/span><\/a> for the full <\/span>session schedule<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

WiFi Access<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is free WiFi at the North York Civic Centre but it is spotty in the basement where our sessions are located. To join, you\u2019ll connect to the \u201cCity of Toronto\u201d network and accept their terms (no password is required). <\/span><\/p>\n

Food and Beverage<\/b><\/h3>\n

We will have coffee, tea, drinks, snacks and sandwiches at the event however there may not be sufficient quantities to feed everyone enough to consider it a lunch meal. There are many excellent restaurants on this block so if necessary, you can find many dining options just out the doors of our venue. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our Sponsors are the Best!<\/b><\/h3>\n

We could not have put this event on without the amazing support of our <\/span>sponsors<\/span><\/a>. Be sure to say to hi (and thanks!) to them at their tables in the lobby. <\/span><\/p>\n

Afterparty<\/b><\/h3>\n

We wrap up the day in the Civic Centre at 6 PM and walk 500 feet up Yonge St to <\/span>Boston Pizza<\/span><\/a> (5170 Yonge St)<\/span>. <\/span>Please remember to bring your badge in order to enjoy some food, beverages, and great conversation!<\/span><\/p>\n

…And Finally<\/b><\/h3>\n

Please review the <\/span>WordCamp Code of Conduct<\/span><\/a>, which you agreed to when you purchased your ticket. It\u2019s extremely important that everyone feel safe and welcome throughout this conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now \u2014 See you tomorrow!<\/span><\/p>\n
