We are looking forward to seeing you at Liberty Station for #wcsd on Saturday and Sunday! Below is some helpful information to ensure you get the most out of your WordCamp weekend.
Registration
Registration opens at 7:45 am on Saturday in the McMillin building. You don’t need to bring a physical “ticket”, but you should confirm that the ticket you purchased (or obtained through a friend etc) is updated with your name. The token to edit your ticket is in your original confirmation email. Lines will be setup alphabetically by last name. Opening Remarks are at 8:45 am, so be sure to plan for parking and registration time!
Parking + Directions + Logistics + Special Needs
McMillin Event Center
2875 Dewey Rd
San Diego, CA 92106
McMillin building will serve as the main hub for the event, and we will have tracks in other locations nearby on the Liberty Station/NTC campus.
There is parking on-site, and the Event Map shows the various lots available. Handicapped parking is available within each lot and along the street near McMillin as well.
If you need help with seating, or anything else during the event, please find a volunteer (teal shirts) or an organizer (red shirts) and we will be happy to help!
Saturday After Party
The After Party will be held from 7-11 pm on Saturday at 98 Bottles in Little Italy. You MUST have your WordCamp name badge to attend – no badge, no entry, sorry! 98 Bottles is a 21+ venue, and you should be prepared to show proper ID.
Saturday and Sunday Schedules
Schedules will be handed out at registration, but it’s good to review things ahead of time, and clicking on schedule links will also lead you to further details about topics, so do some homework!

Concerned re: “The token to edit your ticket is in your original confirmation email.”
My wife bought my ticket via her PayPal account. I’m not finding any such token or link to change to my name. Is this going to be a problem in the morning?
I can bring a print out of the email and I have it in my Evernote.
If you can’t find the email with the token to change your name, just explain “who you are” at registration. If you are using “John Smith’s” ticket, then just tell them that. We do have blank name badges so you can write your correct name…and don’t have to pretend to be “John” all day 😉
The designer track presentations-almost all of them-were frankly unprepared, nearly useless and a waste of a saturday. Then came the fun part of being told I wasn’t on the list for the beginners bootcamp (the main reason that I came). I would like a refund. Last Wordcamp, I will attend.
I’m so sorry you had a negative experience! All of the official wait list people, plus the line of “non-wait list people” were able to get into the Bootcamp, so you should have gotten a seat if you walked over. We had positive feedback on most design tracks that I’ve heard of so far, I really, really hope you try another camp. Each one is different and your experience will be different every time.
