I certainly don\u2019t want to rush things and talk about <strong>after<\/strong> the conference when it&#8217;s just getting started. Nonetheless, as the official WCLAX 2014 AfterParty Planner, I must confess I&#8217;ve been thinking about the endgame for months.<\/p>\n<p>And I don&#8217;t mean that metaphorically. I\u2019m 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!<\/p>\n<p>This year we decided to get the AfterParty started early, so the <a href=\"#wclaxssx\">Qualifying Round<\/a> of the Selfie Scavenger Hunt takes place all day Saturday, <em><strong>during<\/strong><\/em> WCLAX!<\/p>\n<p>To play, simply post <a href=\"#theselfies\">the indicated selfies<\/a> 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.siteground.com\/web-hosting.htm\" title=\"SiteGround Shared Hosting\" target=\"_blank\">Shared Hosting<\/a> from awesome AfterParty sponsor <a href=\"http:\/\/siteground.com\/\" title=\"SiteGround\" target=\"_blank\">SiteGround<\/a>.
