Some MidCamp photos up on flickr. If you upload more, please tag them #MidCamp and tweet at us (or email) so we can see the photos you took!
Recordings are in the process of going up on the MidCamp youtube channel. Recordings should all be up and attached to sessions on 2015.midcamp.org by the end of the week.
Thursday April 2, regular virtual google hangout/irc location.
Now that we're wrapping up MidCamp/MADCamp 2015, we're already getting to work on 2016. Please help us make next year even more amazing by:
Thanks! We'll see you in 2016.
We will be sprinting at UIC from 9 am - 5 pm and contributors of all skill sets and levels are welcome and encouraged. We will have a first-time sprinter workshop 9:30-10:30 to help new contributors get started and work efficiently. Please get a ticket (it is free) for Sunday so we know how many people will be attending. Lunch will be on your own.
The main room of the venue will be open in the evening for after-dinner sprinting and socializing, as an alternative to restaurants or crowding into a hotel room. Feel free to bring board games or other indoor activities.
Some dinner ideas are in the works, stay tuned!
See Social for more details.
We'll be hanging out at Moxee Restaurant/Brewery on 724 W Maxwell St from 6-8PM on Saturday, March 21. We'll have drink tickets and lots of tasty food (BBQ and meat/cheese/gluten-free options) thanks to Acquia and Mailchimp, and there'll be a live Cajun-French band going on later. Come for the company, and stick around for some great tunes.
Be sure to pick up drink tickets at Acquia's booth in the keynote/lunch room.
Due to the Jane Byrne Interchange construction, the Harrison St bridge between the Holiday Inn and UIC is closed. If you plan on walking to the venue, you'll have to take a detour either north to the Van Buren bridge or south to the Taylor St bridge. Luckily, the weather is looking to be pretty great (for March in Chicago) so you can enjoy a little more fresh air.
Volunteers are awesome and a big part of the conference’s success! Please help us by signing up one or more shifts during MidCamp using the live Google spreadsheet. If you sign up, please also fill out this form so we can be in touch if we need you.
Room Monitor shifts are broken out to individual session times, please take a look and see if there is a session you plan on attending that might need a room monitor, you are encouraged to sign up for multiple shifts.
Thank you for your help and assistance filling these critical needs.
Trainings are separate tickets. Get your Thursday training tickets now.
Our pre-sale t-shirts are sold out, but fear not, #drupal shirt collectors. If you didn't get to pre-order, we'll have shirts available to purchase at camp.
We might have some room changes, but our session list now has days, times, and rooms.
We have keynoters! Tiffany Farriss from Palantir will lead off Friday talking about "Economics of Drupal Contribution" and Jen Lampton of Jeneration Web Development will speak on Saturday: "PHP for Everyone".
Regular price tickets are on sale now for $38.71 through March 18. At the door will be $60.00. This fee will cover attendance and lunch for Friday, and Saturday. Tickets on sale now! Only 60 left.
Session submissions were great, but we are missing some important topics. Deadline extended until midnight (11:59 pm CST) January 21, so get on it!
Want to help make #MidCamp great? Thursday (1/8) 6:30-8PM. (A real life meeting, with virtual for far away folks.)

Sponsoring MidCamp is a great way to promote your company or organization and to show your support for the Midwest Drupal community.
We have a variety of sponsor packages designed to meet the needs of companies and organizations both large and small. Contact us to get started today!
We believe a blind session selection process will help bring new and diverse speakers into the Drupal community.
Ashe Dryden's "Increasing Diversity at Your Conference" suggests having as diverse a session selection team as possible. You can help by volunteering to be part of that team. Tweet @midwestcamp to help.
