Hello!
We are super excited for WordCamp Chicago this weekend, and can’t wait to see everyone. Below you’ll find all of the details you need to get the most from the event.
WordCamp will be held at Chicago-Kent College of Law at 565 W Adams St, Chicago, IL 60661.
Uber, Lyft, and taxis are also recommended for getting around town.
SpotHero can help get you the best price on daily parking in the area.
Registration will open at 8am on Saturday. Please be patient during registration as we’ll be checking in approximately 350 people in a fairly small area over the course of an hour.
We’ll kick things off with opening remarks in Track 1 (the auditorium on the main level) at 8:45am Saturday.
The full event schedule is here.
Instructions to connect to the venue wi-fi:
Your credentials will expire at the end of WordCamp Chicago on Sunday afternoon.
We will have coffee, tea, and snacks available throughout both days (as supplies last).
Lunch will be provided on Saturday (Chipotle) and you will be on your own for lunch on Sunday.
IMPORTANT: Bring your badge for admittance to the afterparty. If you don’t have your badge, you will not be able to participate in the ping pong fun!
The afterparty will take place from 6-8pm on Saturday night at AceBounce Ping Pong Bar & Restaurant Chicago at 230 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60601. Here are walking directions (approx 1 mile). Uber, Lyft, or taxi are also options to get to the afterparty.

WordCamps are casual, volunteer-run events. Sponsor support for WordCamp enables attendees to experience the event for a low cost! A low cost ensures accessibility to freelancers, small businesses and anyone who wants to attend.
Being a sponsor gives you a unique opportunity to invest in the Chicago WordPress community. The attendees are made up of web-savvy professionals who work in media, publishing, film, music, art, technology, education, health care, financial services, government… you name it.
We have all benefited from using WordPress; now is the perfect time to give something back. We’ve created sponsorship levels to fit every budget from the multinational corporations of midtown to small local businesses to independent freelancers building WordPress themes for a living. Even if you are a small agency, restaurant, magazine, or an individual wanting to give back because you know that WordPress has helped you and your business, we have a support level for you.
