MOJO Afterparty

MOJO Marketplace has been generous enough to cover the afterparty again this year at WCSLC. The WordCamp SLC afterparty will be held at The Green Pig Pub, the same location as last year. This is a great opportunity for attendees to wind down, network with others, and recap everything you learned at WCSLC. Consider this the extended hallway track, where great conversations are had.

The Green Pig is a sports bar, a little like an Applebees. Their food is amazing, I recommend you try the sliders (vegetarian available). They have a full drink menu and cocktails as well.

WordCamp SLC is a safe place and we expect attendees to adhere to all the terms of the Code of Conduct while at the afterparty. If you do plan on consuming alcoholic beverages, please remember to play it safe and call Uber for your free ride home using “wcslc2015” code when you sign up.

MOJO Marketplace offers premium WordPress themes at their site mojomarketplace.com. Be sure to check them out and thank them for sponsoring WCSLC.

The WCSLC party starts at 7pm, and we hope to see you there!

Parking, Public Transportation and Uber

As we are getting closer to the event, you may be wondering where to find parking or how you will get to the event. Don’t worry we have you covered.

Parking

There is parking available at the City Library located on 400 S between 3rd E and 4th E. The cost of this parking is $3 hour with a $12 max. There is parking on the street that is free on Saturdays but it is limited. Parking at the City-County Building is restricted unless you have a handicap permit. With a permit the parking is on the east side of the building and the ADA entrance is south of the main steps.

Trax

If you want to ride the local public transit, a day pass for Trax is only $6.25. You will need to find your way to the Blueline Route. Once you are on Trax you will need to find either Courthouse Station or Library Station. Library Station is about 1/2 a block east and Courthouse Station is about 1 1/2 blocks west of the venue. Both are within walking distance.

Uber

Uber has been a great sponsor for us at WCSLC. They are back again this year with a free $20 to first-time Uber riders. This is a great way to support our sponsors and get a free ride to the venue. Download the app and signup using the coupon code “wcslc2015” to receive your credit.

Looking forward to seeing everyone no matter how you get there!
