What else do I need to know?

Parking

Your best bet is a parking lot or parking garage, so you don't have to run out to feed your meter. There are several lots/garages nearby and should not cost more than $10 for the day.

ParkMe provides an interactive map of places to park with prices. The venue has also provided a PDF of parking options.

Elevators

There are two sets of elevators in the lobby, you will want to use the ones on the right side, but we will have signs to direct you. The elevators will operate freely from 11:30am-1pm to take you up to the 16th floor. After 1pm, we will have someone in the lobby with a keycard to help you get upstairs.

FAQ

Why is there no DrupalCamp Austin 2012?

DrupalCamp Austin is usually held in the Fall, around October or November. This year, we had to re-think our usual date in light of new events coming to our city. Instead of fully cancelling the event, or holding our usual event at a time when there will be no hotel rooms available for anyone wanting to attend; we decided to move our event slightly earlier in the year, and having a shorter, one-day event for you, for free.

Will there be a DrupalCamp Austin in 2013?

Absolutely, yes. And better than ever! We are planning on having DrupalCamp Austin 2013 in the Spring, as opposed to the Fall. You can sign-up to receive an update when DrupalCamp 2013 information is available.

I’m bored, is there anything I can do while I wait for DrupalCamp Austin 2013?

Why yes! Glad you asked! We are looking to improve DrupalCamp Austin in the future, so please feel free to send us feedback on how we can make the next DrupalCamp Austin a better experience for you. There are also several monthly Drupal meetups in Austin for all skill levels.
