Tomorrow is the big day! Here are some last-minute reminders.

Location

The Royale Chulan Bukit Bintang hotel is located in the Bukit Bintang neighborhood, an area famous for its nightlife. It is on Jalan Bukit Bintang, near the corner of Jalan Pudu.

The closest transit stations are:

• Imbi, on the Monorail line
• Bukit Bintang, on the MRT

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.

Parking

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…

Show Up Early

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…

Download the App

Get the app for faster check-in, alerts, and managing your conference schedule.

Most importantly…

Be Nice!

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.

Have Fun!

Let’s have a great WordCamp KL!

We’ve made an app for our event! You can download it here:

• Android – Google Play Store
• iPhone – iTunes App Store

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.

Having the app will also allow you to receive important update messages from the organizing team directly to your phone – don’t worry, we will use this sparingly! 😀

While it’s not necessary to have the app to enjoy WordCamp KL, we think it will make for a better experience, and we hope you’ll give it a try.

See you on Saturday!

We are very excited to announce that WordCamp KL 2018 will feature a Contributor Day on Sunday, November 18th!

Please extend a warm welcome and a big THANK YOU to our Contributor Day Event Sponsor: DOJO KL, a dynamic, community-focused coworking space in downtown KL.

DOJO empowers the creative and entrepreneurial community by creating inspiring workspaces, organizing educational and social events, and providing personalized services to help members grow. They take a people first approach, and we are very happy to have their support!

What is Contributor Day?

WordPress is an open source software project, which means that it relies on volunteers to contribute their time to maintain and advance the project. One of the ways to do that is to get more people involved – that’s where Contributor Day comes in!

Those who are ready to contribute will all meet at DOJO KL on Sunday the 18th (the day after WordCamp KL) where we will be guided in how to give back to WordPress. If you have never contributed before, this is a great chance to learn! If you have experience, you can apply it by helping others get started 🙂

Some examples of things we’ll be doing:

• Setting up your WordPress.org profile and joining the Slack channel
• Replying to open support tickets on WordPress.org
• Testing Gutenberg
• “Un-conference”, impromptu presentations
  

In addition to all that, FREE LUNCH will be provided!

To attend Contributor Day at WCKL2018, please RSVP to the event at the WordPress KL Meetup page.

We’re happy to announce that WordCamp Kuala Lumpur is officially on the calendar!

WordCamp Kuala Lumpur will be November 17, 2018 at Royale Chulan Bukit Bintang Hotel.
