If you are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-sensitive, or have any other major food allergy, you probably ask yourself this question before registering for any conference.
At WordCamp Jacksonville we like to answer that question with a resounding,
“YES!”
Whether your dietary restrictions are by choice or necessity, we want you to enjoy camp and be well fed. But don’t take our word for it, here’s what previous campers have said:
“[They] accommodated vegans, like myself, and others in our community with non-typical diets better than any WordCamp I’ve ever been to. They put a lot of effort into this effort and it made me feel so welcome at the camp. Also, those jackfruit burritos were so good!” – Josh Pollock, Lead Developer, Caldera Labs | WCJAX 2017
“The WordCamp Jacksonville crew made significant efforts to find snacks and food items that were not only edible, but weren’t the same old, tasteless, unreasonable standbys (i.e. gluten free = vegan salad). They investigated, cared and really tried to have options available and helped me feel included in our WordCamp community!” – Kat Roedell, Strategic Mentor, Ignite Business Planning Services | WCJAX 2016
So, what can you expect at WordCamp Jacksonville 2019?
