Note: There is another hotel, not far from ours, with nearly the same name (“Royale Chulan Kuala Lumpur”). This is not our venue.
Please be sure to find Royale Chulan Bukit Bintang.
We encourage folks to take public transport if you can. But if that’s not possible, you can park at the hotel. The daily flat rate is RM8 but we will be validating your tickets for free parking as long as our budget will allow. Which means…
Registration opens at 8am! Help us get things started on time by showing up early. There is free breakfast and coffee as your reward! And to help speed things up…
Get the app for faster check-in, alerts, and managing your conference schedule.
Most importantly…
WordCamp is a volunteer-organized, casual event. We expect everyone to be friendly and patient, and we remind you that we are all obliged to follow the Code of Conduct, which can be summarized as Be Nice to Everyone. If you witness any violations of the code, please notify a volunteer or organizer immediately. You will be able to recognize us as we’ll be wearing the WordCamp KL 2018 t-shirts.
Let’s have a great WordCamp KL!
We’ve made an app for our event! You can download it here:
The app is FREE, of course, and will help you get the best experience possible at WordCamp Kuala Lumpur.
Enter the email associated with your WCKL ticket, and it will generate a QR code that you can use to register at the event on Saturday. This will help us make the check-in process as smooth and fast as possible.
The entire schedule is listed in the app, and will allow you to bookmark your favorite sessions for easy tracking. You can also read detailed information about WCKL speakers and sponsors.
