Should I attend on Saturday and Sunday?

There is some terrible rumor or assumption spread around some WordCamps that all the important stuff happens on Saturday and Sunday is just a fluff day. 

THIS IS NOT TRUE!

If you decide not to attend on Sunday you’re missing out on half of the great speakers and half of the time you can spend getting to know your fellow WordPressers.

What about the After Party sponsored by GoDaddy?

Every single attendee is invited to party with us at Blue Cow Kitchen (right by Angels Flight in Downtown Los Angeles). Grab some appetizers, drinks, make a mess playing giant Jenga & Connect4, get your face painted, and hang out with fellow attendees, speakers, and sponsors all for free by GoDaddy, our after party sponsor!

Check out our blog post for details about the after party.
