At WordCamp SLC the word ‘Bluehost‘ has become synonymous with lunch.  This year is no different, with Bluehost picking up the tab for our BBQ lunch.

Lunch at WordCamp SLC is something I consider a vital part of the event.  Not just because we get hungry around that time, but because it a great time for people to sit and talk together.  When we draw up the schedule for the day I make sure we carve out a solid 1.5 hours for lunch, so that everyone has plenty of time to get their food and make new friends.

If you enjoy being able to have lunch included as part of a low cost $20 ticket be sure to thank our friends at Bluehost.  I know many of you already have sites hosted at Bluehost, they’ll have staff members attending WordCamp SLC so this is a good time to ask any questions you may have.

As we enter the last week leading up to WordCamp SLC 2012 it is time to thank our sponsors, they play a large part in making this event come together.

For the third year in a row we are thrilled to be holding WordCamp SLC at the University of Utah. They have been very gracious in letting us use the Skaggs Biology building auditorium rooms. I knew from the first time I saw them then I wanted to use those rooms. The size, the proximity to one another, power outlets every where, projectors and large screens, it all just clicked. I don’t want to jinx it, but the wifi has also worked out great each year.

The campus itself is also wonderful, worth wandering around if you haven’t done that before. Not bad for a place that that has been around for more than 160 years.

A huge thank you to the UoU for welcoming us back for another year!
