Yay! #wclax is upon us! I certainly don’t want to rush things and talk about after the conference when it’s just getting started! Nonetheless, as the official WCLAX 2014 AfterParty Planner, I must confess I’ve been thinking about the endgame for months!
And I don’t mean that metaphorically! I’m super excited to announce the WordCamp Los Angeles Selfie Scavenger Hunt (aka #wclax #ssh), which is not only a game, but a game with prizes!
This year we decided to get the AfterParty started early, so the Qualifying Round of the Selfie Scavenger Hunt takes place all day Saturday, during WCLAX!
To play, simply post the indicated selfies to Twitter! Everyone who posts the first six selfie pics and their respective hashtags to Twitter by the close of WordCamp LAX Saturday Sessions will win a FREE YEAR of Shared Hosting from awesome AfterParty sponsor SiteGround! The first 5 people to complete the Qualifying Round will also get a Bonus Prize from SiteGround!
The Final Round (aka the Grand Prize-winning Round!) takes place at the AfterParty itself. Complete the Qualifying Round, then come to the party to post your final selfie and you’ll be entered into a drawing to win one of FIVE Grand Prizes!
WCLAX SSH Grand Prizes
- one iPad Air!
- two iPad minis!
- two pairs of Sennheiser PRO headphones!
Please see the WCLAX Selfie Scavenger Hunt Official Instructions included below for selfie and hashtag details!
Now, we all know not everyone is gonna wanna be selfie-ing and hashtagging all day, so I’m thinking the odds of you winning one of the Grand Prizes are pretty good! And hey, you’re going to come to the AfterParty anyway, right?
Because when you do there will be a nacho bar, sliders, bleu cheese fries (!!) and a drink waiting for you. Gratis.
The WordCamp LAX AfterParty is at Los Angeles Brewing Company right down the street from Blankspaces DTLA, where Sunday’s sessions are being held. The AfterParty is free and open for all WCLAX attendees, but because it’s LA, you’ll have to pay for parking (your best bet is the lot around the corner at 8th and Spring).
WordCamp LAX AfterParty
Who: WCLAX attendees
Why: Free food, drinks and chilling
When: Sat, Sept 6, 6-8pm
Where: Los Angeles Brewing Company
750 S. Broadway
Los Angeles, CA 90014
At 8pm sharp we will do the Grand Prize drawing! Yes, you must be present to win!
BTW, in addition to the Grand Prize giveaway and food and drinks, there will be a photobooth from the rad folks at SnapYourself.
Oh, and mini-cupcakes. Of course.
Anyway, like I said … no need to focus on WordCamp LAX being over just yet! Enjoy it! And remember, at the end there’s a mini-cupcake with your name on it* waiting for you.
