\nThe George Sherman Union building or GSU, will be our main venue located at 775 Commonwealth Ave. Boston. \u00a0We are located on the 2nd floor and we will have gracious volunteers guiding you upstairs. \u00a0There is an elevator available to those who need one. \u00a0The map of the venue and where respective sessions are located can be found here: \u00a0https:\/\/2012.boston.wordcamp.org\/venue\/floorplan\/<\/a>. \u00a0We will have volunteers who can always point you in the right direction if you get lost!<\/p>\n
\nThere will be 3 simultaneous tracks designated for appropriate learning levels\/topics. \u00a0Please feel free to attend any session your little heart desires! \u00a0Each session will be filmed and should be online within the month or 2 following #wcbos. \u00a0Be sure to thank your camera man! \u00a0A table schedule can be found here: https:\/\/2012.boston.wordcamp.org\/schedule\/<\/a> with details on sessions here: https:\/\/2012.boston.wordcamp.org\/sessions\/<\/a>. \u00a0Again, all of this will be on your badge!<\/p>\n
\nFood for the event will be handled by our venue sponsor, Boston University<\/a>. \u00a0Breakfast Saturday morning is sponsored by WP-Engine<\/a> and will be available from 8am to 9:30am. \u00a0Lunch at 11:45am is sponsored by ZippyKid<\/a>. \u00a0Please try to adhere to your original food choice as we have plenty of vegetarians and vegans. \u00a0If you are a late-registrant (we know who you are \ud83d\ude09 ), please wait until the \u201cnormal\u201d registrants have received their lunches. \u00a0We will have afternoon snacks on both Saturday and Sunday, sponsored by A Small Orange<\/a> and Wordnik <\/a>respectively. \u00a0Please be sure to visit their sponsor tables (along with Manage WP<\/a>) to thank them!<\/p>\n
\nThe happyness bar is our lounge where you can sit down with one of our WordPress experts for some 1-on-1 interaction and help. \u00a0Our happyness bar will be available all weekend for those who need some advice. \u00a0It will be staffed by speakers as well as one of our sponsors, Shareaholic<\/a>. \u00a0If you are interested in speaking with someone, please check in at the happyness bar registration and they will be sure to set you up with one of our resident experts!<\/p>\n
\nOur after party, sponsored by Oomph<\/a> will be at Game On!<\/a> (our reception venue sponsor) right in the heart of Fenway. \u00a0This event will be 21+ so please plan accordingly (there have been some discussions with the city and we were unable to obtain an 18+ license and for that we apologize). \u00a0Game On! is located at 82 Lansdowne St. in Boston. \u00a0Please join us for some appetizers (on us and Oomph) as well as some cold tasty beverages. \u00a0We will be located downstairs on the left as you enter the venue and we will have the entire downstairs to ourselves. \u00a0OH! And there may be a chance to use the visitor\u2019s batting cages (the same ones visiting teams use), so come by and take a look (we can\u2019t promise availability and disclaimers will need to be filled out before use)!<\/p>\n
\nWe obviously couldn\u2019t have put this event together without the generous donations of our sponsors. \u00a0A huge thanks to our platinum sponsors Oomph <\/a>and ZippyKid<\/a>, gold: WP-Engine<\/a>, A Small Orange<\/a>, Wordnik<\/a>, Manage WP<\/a>, silver: WooThemes<\/a>, CodePoet<\/a>, 10up<\/a>, Growth Spark<\/a>, Pagelines <\/a>and Shareaholic<\/a>.<\/p>\n
