We’ve mentioned before that this year’s WordCamp is at a new venue — Church & State. Church & State is located on the northwest corner of 400 South and 300 East. There’s no dedicated parking lot for Church & State, so we highly recommend using public transportation/Trax to get there — the Library Station stop is directly across the street.
Street parking is available in the area, but it’s paid with a maximum time of 2 hours. If you use the ParkSLC app, you can get notified when it’s time to move your vehicle but, speaking from first-hand experience, it’s not possible to simply top up your time — it’s a hard 2 hour limit. There’s a Diamond parking lot up the street that is $1.50/hr or the library parking lot west of the venue which is $1.50/hr after the first 30 minutes.
Across the street, there is the old location of the Salt Lake Roasting Company, which has moved up the street. As such, their parking in the back is currently not being used, and it may be possible to park there if spaces are available. Please check for any indications of unauthorized parking as things change frequently. If in doubt, the library parking (or Uber/Lyft/public transportation) is your best bet.
WordCamp SLC will take place across three floors inside Church & State. The downstairs multipurpose room is known as 1893 and will also be where lunch will be served. On the main level is the Chapel area, which is where the keynote, opening and closing remarks will be happening. We will also have a third track in a smaller conference room/training room. We’re waiting for confirmation on this room but signage will be available and we will post here when we have confirmation.
This venue is old and there are no elevators. The main level can be made accessible to wheelchairs but the lower and upper levels cannot. As such, anyone requiring assistance for food or to attend a talk in one of the other areas should reach out to one of our volunteers wearing blue WordCamp SLC shirts.
