Since Friday’s sessions will only be taking place in the morning, we have put together some group activities in the afternoon. These activities will give you a chance to socialize and collaborate with fellow WordCamp attendees, with many giving you the opportunity to experience all that beautiful downtown Ann Arbor has to offer.
After lunch, anyone interested in joining a group will meet back at the Fountain directly across from the entrance to Rackham on the Ingalls Mall at 3:15 pm. From there, you will follow your group leader to the destination. If you are running a little late, don’t worry! As long as the activity you choose does not have a specific start time (tours), you can meet up with the group whenever you choose. Whether you are a seasoned developer, a beginner blogger, or anything in between, we encourage you to use this time to get to know the other members of the WordPress community!
