Slack Channel Update: #Lodging Channel Added

Screenshot 2015-10-19 08.57.16WordCamp Miami has already attracted a large out-of-town crowd with past attendees coming from all over the United States, Canada, Europe, South America (Brazil and Columbia especially), the Caribbean (Jamaica and Porto Rico especially), Asia, and even South Africa. With WordCamp Miami 2016’s dates announced, people are planning ahead.

While we have recommended hotels close to the venue on the site currently, we are working on investigating any special offers. Some attendees are able to make their own arrangements via hotel sites and AirB&B. We wanted to make communication of possible deals or offers as easy as possible to other attendees, so we have added a #lodging channel to our Slack team.

In case you haven’t used Slack, it’s an easy to use chat room. Over 70 people have already joined it to get updates and ask questions about the event. Now there’s a dedicated “channel” just for those looking for lodging deals or to learn about groups grabbing an AirB&B. We hope this channel becomes useful to our attendees.

If you aren’t in our Slack team yet, enter your email address here. You’ll get an invite that will allow you to join. Slack can be used in your web browser or via a desktop and mobile app. Learn more about Slack here.

Even if you don’t need lodging help, join our Slack channel to get to know some of the attendees before the conference!
