All you need to know about WordCamp KL 2019!

Dear all attendees!

We are so excited to welcome you again for this year camp! This year we are hosting 266 guests for the conference day. I would like to highlight a few important information and some handy guide in this post.

First and foremost WordCamp is a non-profit event organized by volunteers with financial transparency. Fellow organizers worked hard for the past few months to make this event happen. Therefore, we need you to read and abide by the code of conduct.

Tickets & Check-in Process

Every attendee requires a valid ticket to access the conference halls. Tickets are now sold out and we are unable to accommodate walk-in and plus one guest. You can view the attendee list here.

During check-in, please show your ticket confirmation email from your phone. You do not need to print the confirmation.

The registration counter will only open at 8:00 am on Saturday 2 November 2019. Breakfast is not provided in the morning. However, we’ll have coffee and tea.

Registration counter is marked Blue on the layout above.

Track 1 will be at Manhattan I & Track 2 will be at Bronx III. Holding Room (Bronx I) is for speakers and organizers only – we ask attendees not to access this room. Opening remarks and closing will take place at Manhattan 1.

All these halls located at Level 14, Berjaya Times Square Hotel.

Children’s

Children’s below 12 years old can attend WordCamp free of charge and must be accompanied by an adult with a valid ticket. However, the hotel policy does not admit children for lunch. So parents/guardians need to make alternative arrangement for the lunch.

Getting there

Getting to the right place at the right time can be tricky here. Berjaya Times Square consists of Mall, Hotel, Apartments and University. Please read Directions to WordCamp KL for more information on the parking and public transportations.

We recommend you to come early.

First time?

If you are attending WordCamp KL for the first time, read first-timers guide to make most of it.

Contributor Day

Contributor Day and Workshops will take place on 1st November 2019 (Friday). Please read more here.

Sponsors

The actual cost per person per day is RM 250. Thanks to our sponsors to bring the cost down to RM 79. Please check out our sponsors here. We have sponsor booths during the conference day. Feel free to visit them.

Help & Info

During the conference day, the Organizers and event volunteers (individuals who help the organizers on the event day) will be wearing Yellow colour t-shirt. If you need any help, please talk to them.
