Beginners Workshop
This is essentially an all-day session. You are free to bounce in and out as needed, but there is a certain order in which topics will be presented throughout the day.
Genius Bar
The Genius Bar is an area where you can go to get expert help with any WordPress issue you may have. It will be staffed throughout the day, so feel free to pop over and get your questions answered. It will be held in an open area on the 2nd floor, at the top of the steps.
Camp Pitch
Have an idea for something you want to build with WordPress? Then show up with your idea in the Senate Chamber and state your case. This will be an open floor, and anyone is welcome. After the pitches, feel free to get together and build something great.
