Potential Accommodations in Boston

We’re exploring multiple options for offering accommodations to attendees from outside greater Boston.

One option would be to reserve dorm-style rooms through Boston University, at a greatly reduced summer rate. These are nice rooms: apartment style, in which four single rooms share 2 baths, a kitchen, and a common living room area.

Please fill out the following poll to help us understand what potential demand might be like for such an option.

We’re also talking to area hotels about more traditional accommodations, but we have to be realistic that July in Boston / Cambridge is more expensive than January was.

Call for Speakers now live

We’re looking forward to organizing another fantastic WordCamp Boston, but we definitely can’t do that without an awesome set of speakers. We just posted the Call for Speakers page, so if you’re a local (or willing-to-travel) WordPress user, connoisseur, or expert, I urge you to learn more about speaking and submit an application. Applications are due May 14th.

In particular, this year we’re encouraging new speakers who have never given a presentation on WordPress before to also join in, via our Speaker Mentorship program. You can learn more about that too, of course, on the Call for Speakers page.
