Join Kieran Lal, Technical Director of Business Development at Acquia for our Keynote session: The Drupal Revolution

Join us for a group photo on the Anteater Steps, just outside the back of the conference center. Exit through the doors near Pacific Ballroom lobby.

Help with attendee check-ins. May need you to provide simple room directions (show people how to read the event map).

We have the UC Irvine Anthill Pub reserved for Saturday night starting at 6PM for an attendee-only private party, with food and drink sponsored by Media Temple! This is just upstairs from the Pacific Ballroom lobby. Walk up the Anteater steps, or take the elevator to the upstairs plaza (level 2). The Pub is directly across the plaza. The Pub will have their kitchen open for dinner, and both food and drink are being sponsored this year.

If you have a Mac and forgot your VGA dongle, here’s your chance to ask around and borrow one.

Help with setup and attendee check-ins. May need you to provide simple room directions (show people how to read the event map).

Setup and handling check-ins require a good number of volunteers, so please consider helping out.
