In addition to being one of the Global Community Sponsors for all WordCamps, Bluehost is based right here in Utah and has always been a generous benefactor of WordCamp Salt Lake City. When you are eating the delicious food catered by Sugarhouse Barbecue and Cali’s Natural Food, think of Bluehost, who’s been kind enough to cover our lunch!
