Will you be capping the attendance?
YES. Due to facility and budget constraints we will be capping Drupalcamp Atlanta at 250 participants – SOLD OUT! sign-up for waiting list.

What if I have already signed-up, but now have a conflict?
Please do let us definitely know by pinging us on the contact form – freeing up your seat may open your spot for someone else and helps a ton with pre-planning.

I’ve never come to a Drupalcamp before – what should I bring?
We recommend bringing a laptop (optional) and lots of business cards for networking. We’ll provide snacks, beverages, a boxed lunch (vegetarian and meat options), wifi access, and welcome packet (including an official DCA badge). To confirm, no pre-existing knowledge of Drupal is required. The dress is casual –wear some comfortable clothing.

I’m coming in from out of state or would like to stay at a nearby hotel – where do you recommend?
We have blocked off 40 rooms (20 king and 20 doubles) for Friday, September 18th and the 19th at the Marriott Spring Hill Suites directly across the street and within walking distance of Drupalcamp Atlanta. The discounted rate is $96.00 and includes a complimentary breakfast and free wifi. However, you must reserve by August 19th and mention Drupalcamp Atlanta to take advantage of the deal.

Is it too late to become a sponsor?
NO. Please complete the contact form and will be in touch to coordinate next steps. Keep in mind, there are year round sponsorship opportunities in conjunction with our local Atlanta Drupal User Group meetups.

What’s the deal with submitting a session? Is there a deadline?
In short, the success of a volunteer led conference is contingent on the quality of sessions to a large extent. We would highly encourage you to submit a session. Right now, we are trying to ensure that there are enough meeting rooms, so everyone who submits a session will be able to present. However, there are no guarantees. If an over-flow of sessions are submitted the organizing committee will decide on the final schedule.

The deadline for submitting a session will be Wednesday, September 9th at Noon EST. The official schedule and room assignments will be announced on the website at least a few days before the conference. If you submitted a session, please check the website for updates.

If I am presenting, do I need to bring my own projector?
NO. Audio/Visual equipment and wifi access will be available at Kennesaw State University.

What’s the deal with the after-hours party?
The Drupalcamp Atlanta after-hours party will be from 6 – 9pm at Baileys Pub and Grill about 1 mile from Kennesaw State. They are reserving a section of the restaurant just for Drupal’ers that will include two pool tables, and a dart area. You will be on your own for drinks and food. Directions will be included in your registration packet. Bring plenty of business cards and be prepared to unwind and have some fun!

Will you be offering t-shirts at Drupalcamp?
YES. We will be offering a limited number of highly commemorative t-shirts the day of the conference. The price will be $15, sold on a first come first serve basis, and sizes will range from S – XXXL. Please bring cash or check – no credit cards will be accepted. Any profit from the sale of t-shirts will be used to cover DCA expenses, put towards the Atlanta Drupal User Group (ADUG), and the Drupal Association.

How will the BoF sessions be organized?
First, a Bird of a Feather (BoF) session is an opportunity for a smaller group of individuals to gather and discuss a like-minded topic during the conference. These will not be planned out ahead of time. A whiteboard will be provided where rooms can be assigned and BoF ideas submitted. The facilitator of the BoF is usually the person who suggested the topic.

Where can I get Drupalcamp Atlanta updates?
Please keep checking back on the website or we would strongly recommend following two Twitter accounts - Drupalcamp_ATL and one of our host sponsors, Mediacurrent.

How can I help?
We are glad you asked. We need volunteers to assist with:

1. Registration, t-shirt sales, and set-up in the morning (3-4 volunteers).
2. Recording sessions – we would like to archive and release every session on the ADUG website(6-8 volunteers).
3. Help set-up and test A/V equipment in each room (2-3 volunteers).
4. Picture taking – we would like a few individuals to be the official Drupalcamp Atlanta photographers and post photos online (2-3 volunteers).
5. Put the DCA badge on your website (everyone).
6. Clean and straighten-up afterwards (2-3 volunteers).

Finally, we need help promoting the event within other technology communities (especially colleges and universities). Please help distribute this flyer to other user groups, clubs, associations, and your personal Drupal contacts. It would be awesome to see the inaugural Drupalcamp be a sell-out. If everyone signed up would tell just one person it would help tremendously. If you are interested in volunteering please fill out the contact form and indicate what you would be willing to help out with – thank you very much!
