Welcome To WordCamp Social Event

Hey Awesome WordCampers,

If you are in town Friday night before WordCamp, and looking for something to do, why not come on down to the Fox Hotel in South Brisbane and hang out with other WordCampers and get to know each other before the fun begins.

 

If you are new to WordCamp this is a good opportunity to meet other WordPress fanatics ahead of WordCamp Brisbane, maybe make a new friend or two, and get some tips to getting the most out of the weekend, or, if you’re a seasoned veteran, you can catch up with some old friends.

This is an unofficial social event with the sole purpose of just meeting and greeting other WordPress devotees and having a few social drinks, or a meal, there is no official start or end time, just turn up when you can and look for other WordPressers, some of us will be wearing obvious shirts 😉

So come along and mingle, make some new friends, maybe catch up with some old ones, and ease your way into what promises to be a fantastic weekend of WordPress goodness.

This event is open to all WordCamp Brisbane attendees, or really anyone who wants to hang out with some WordPress nerds.

Hope to see you there!

#WCBNE After Party

There ain’t no party like a WordCamp Brisbane After Party party, and this year will be no different.

We will be gathering at the Botanic Bar (same place as last year for returning WordCampers) which is a short stroll from the conference rooms in QUT.

 

Proceedings will kick off at 6pm on Saturday night, so you will have time to wander off and freshen up, or have a meal in one of the many restaurants near the venue before joining up with all the other awesome peeps, or even feel free to hang around with us and help pack up, we will be heading there as soon as everything is ship shape.

Festivities will conclude at 10pm, but feel free to kick on afterwards in Bris Vegas, there are many pubs and clubs in the vicinity (but don’t party too hard, we want to see you back bright eyed and bushy tailed for day 2).

Some light snacks (probably pizza) and drinks will be provided, and you’ll need your WordCamp badge to get in the door, so please don’t forget it!

Under 18’s are allowed provided they are accompanied by an adult.

We hope to see you there!
