Friday Workshops: What You Need to Know

Welcome aboard WordCamp Orlando! Here’s what you’ll need to know as you embark on our first day of workshops.

Parking and Registration

When you arrive at the Rosen Campus for Hospitality Management you’ll pass through the security gates (just let them know you’re here for WordCamp Orlando) and head to the left. DO NOT PARK ON THE RIGHT – those spots are faculty only.

Our parking volunteer will be standing right before the first row of spots to hand you a parking pass. YOU MUST DISPLAY A PASS ON YOUR DASH ALL DAY FRIDAY – if you missed the volunteer we’ll have extra passes at the sign-in table.

Once parked, proceed to the front gates where we’ll check you in and point you to coffee and your workshop room.

Attending your Workshop Excursion

We ask that you only attend the workshop you indicated with your ticket purchase. If you don’t remember what you picked, we will have the list at registration.

The workshops are very hands-on, so laptops are encouraged. Please bring your device fully charged, we will have extra power strips within the rooms, but we cannot guarantee you’ll be able to stay connected the entire time. Please be courteous and share plugs once you’re charged.

The wi-fi on campus is not the best, so please refrain from downloading any large files, streaming, or other bandwidth-eating tasks. If your workshop requires any pre-downloads or setup you will receive an email with those instructions or we will have the necessary files on USB drive.

Wi-fi Network: UCFGuest
There is no password, but you must open a new browser window and accept the terms to connect. If you are not active, it may log you off after 20 minutes, after which you will have to agree to the terms again.

Food and Safety

All day coffee and tea will be available in the atrium just before the workshop rooms and water stations will be set up around the campus. We will be providing lunch in the dining hall across the courtyard from the workshop rooms. There are vending machines on campus for sodas and snacks as well.

IF YOU ARE BRINGING YOUR OWN SNACKS PLEASE DO NOT BRING PEANUTS ON CAMPUS.

We have some attendees with life-threatening peanut allergies and if an organizer or volunteer identifies that you have something with peanuts we will kindly ask that you return it to your car.

If you need any assistance throughout the day please let us know at registration or if an emergency arises, please find one of the organizers or volunteers. Campus security as well as our organizing and volunteer teams are all here to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable voyage!
