WordCamp Richmond needs your help finding a venue for this year. We’ve been searching around, trying to find a great venue but haven’t had much luck so far. A perfect venue for this year’s event would be one that:

1. Can support 100-150 people
2. Has 3 rooms — 1 big enough for the full group, 2 big enough for roughly half the group each
3. Donated/Sponsored/Low cost
4. Near restaurants for lunch break

Of course, we know we may not be able to find the perfect place.  So if you have suggestions that might at least match some of the above criteria, we’re open to hearing about them.

We’re hoping to have a great event this year with some tremendous speakers. I already have a commitment from a well-known WordPress Rockstar, and tentative commitments from others depending on timing. I don’t want to drop names until we have location and date confirmed, but they’ll be traveling from far away and have really helped shape WordPress into what it is today and are continuing to do so on a daily basis.

So with that all being said, we could really use your help finding a venue.  We hope to keep ticket prices to a minimum, so someone sponsoring (paying for / donating) a venue or a venue that is willing to donate their space to us on their own would be greatly appreciated.  If you want to speak with us regarding a location, please contact us right away.
