Will There Be Anything For Me To Eat?
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 2020?
✨ = gluten-free | 💙 = Vegan | 🚨 = Warning

We like to make sure our snacks are healthy enough to give you an energy boost, so you can expect fruit to be readily available.

What’s With The Circus?
A big challenge of organizing WordCamp is coming up with the theme. It’s actually one of the first tasks and one the organizing group does not take lightly. A theme will influence all marketing, some swag, and the look of the Wapuu for the event. We have had some fun themes over the last 4 years (Bridges, Anchors Aweigh, Cows, and Vintage Jax) so what’s up with the circus?
Doesn’t a circus just sound like you’re going to have some fun? Actually, the idea (thank you Andrea) was submitted as Big Top Circus: Look under the WordPress big top and you will find designers, developers, marketers and salespeople all putting on a solid show. Celebrating 5 Years of the WordCamp Jacksonville Big Top.
Come join the rest of us WordPress clowns March 28th & 29th!
