  1. Still looking for a single ticket!

  2. Justin Parra says:

    Congrats on an amazing lineup. I’m looking forward to it!

  3. Jennifer says:

    Are the sessions something we sign up for ahead of time? Looks like a great day! Looking forward to it!

  4. Grant says:

    Jennifer, you can attend any sessions you like… no need to sign up or designate ahead of time.

  5. Susan Kernes says:

    I’m thinking about attending the 10:30 “Things We Learned The Hard Way” seminar. I am more than a WordPress beginner but not a pro. My question: who is the intended audience? Power users or dabblers like me? (Really looking forward to this day)

  6. Grant says:

    Susan, great question. Since it’s the middle track it will likely be for power users/designers and beginning developers more than casual users. I think Michael will be sharing some tips & tricks for those looking to become WordPress pros, sharing his experience as one. However, unless you’re interested in copyright info, I would recommend this talk over the other 2 in that time slot. I think you’ll still get a lot out of it.

    Grant…in looking through these posts I realize how much I need both the Copyright and Michael’s class. You mentioned in a post that the sessions would be streamed (on the Registration page) so I was wondering if the video will be archived on WP.tv or available somewhere later. You had mentioned that it was going to be streamed live which I obviously can’t watch while I’m in a session : )

    Cheers,
    Ta

    This info may have been sent or posted but can’t find it anywhere so here’s my questions:
    1. Parking info
    2. Check in process – first timer so other than an email I don’t have any more info
    3. Am I missing anything else we need to know? Bringing a group of 6!

    Thanks!

      • Larry Dill says:

        I see according to the published schedule that we’re all only given 30 minutes to get in, complete the reg process and get to the opening session. I don’t know how many attenders you expect but is that really enough time? ( 0 :

        • Grant says:

          Good catch. The registration starts at 8am… it just wasn’t updated on this schedule. We’ll be sending out a final email with all the day of details (registration, etc.) that will have all the final info for everyone. Thanks Larry!
