Once parked, take the elevator to the fourth\u00a0floor exit of the garage. The weekend rate for parking in CCM Garage is $5 for an entire day. There is a pay machine on the ground\u00a0floor of the parking garage, or the automated exit gates accept credit card.<\/p>\n<h2>Venue \/ Registration<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2016.cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-327\" src=\"https:\/\/2016.cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Tangeman University Center\" width=\"499\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman-451x300.jpg 451w, https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/02\/tangeman-1000x665.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Registration begins at 8:00AM on Saturday. Once you\u2019ve parked and have exited the parking garage on the ground level, you should see signs pointing toward the Tangeman University Center entrance. It is a very large slate-grey building with four floors. Registration can be found on the main floor of the building\u00a0(this is actually the second floor of the building). Upon entering the main doors of the building, you should see the registration and information area directly in front of you. Registration is simple &#8211; simply tell our volunteers your name. They\u2019ll locate your name badge, t-shirt, and a printed schedule, then point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n<h2>Sessions<\/h2>\n<p>All of the sessions will be located in one of two areas. The cinema\u00a0is located immediately next to the registration and information area. This is where the Marketing track\u00a0is located, and also where opening remarks and keynote sessions will take place. All other tracks are located on the fourth floor of the building in rooms 400A, 400B, and 400C. You can either take the stairs in the atrium of the building, or find an elevator in the corner opposite the food court restaurants and main entrance.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee and refreshment stations will be available in both of these areas: outside the cinema\u00a0and at the end of the hallway where the fourth floor rooms are located.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2016.cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/files\/2016\/10\/UCTangemanUniversityCenterFloorPlans.pdf\">Click to View the Building Map<\/a>\u00a0(noting that you will arrive on Level 2 from the main entrance)<\/p>\n<h2>Happiness Bar<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1075\" src=\"https:\/\/2016.cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/files\/2016\/09\/cincinnati-wordcamp-happiness-bar-300x160.jpg\" alt=\"Happiness Bar\" width=\"501\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/09\/cincinnati-wordcamp-happiness-bar-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/09\/cincinnati-wordcamp-happiness-bar-500x267.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cincinnati.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/09\/cincinnati-wordcamp-happiness-bar.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We will have our very own \u201cHappiness Bar\u201d, a common staple of WordCamps. Bring any and all questions you have related to managing your website and our dedicated experts will be happy to offer their advice. You can find the Happiness Bar at the end of the hallway on the fourth floor, near the coffee and refreshments station.<\/p>\n<h2>After-Party<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of a long day of learning, why not wind down by enjoying drinks and chatting with other passionate members of our local\u00a0WordPress community? Best of all, you don\u2019t even have to leave the building! Our after-party will take place immediately after the last session on Saturday, at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uc.edu\/mainstreet\/tuc\/catskeller.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">Catskeller pub<\/a> on the ground floor of the building.<\/p>\n<h2>Sunday<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t forget, we have two jam-packed days of sessions! All of the information above applies for both days, except that you will not need to re-register on Sunday (unless you are not able to attend Saturday). Simply bring your name badge you received on Saturday for entry. Because of this, opening remarks will begin at 9:00AM instead of 8:45AM on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Register to Attend<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s not too late to register!
