The WordCamp takes place next to the University Campus, so there are some copy shops around. However, consider they might be closed on Saturday and maybe completely closed due to the university holiday during that week, so please reach them in advance.
WordCamps are informal, local, community-organized events for everyone who uses WordPress — the free and open-source publishing system that powers over 43% of the web worldwide (and around 60% in Austria).
This includes bloggers, designers, developers, authors, marketers, copywriters, SEOs, companies, startups, non-profits, agencies, freelancers — and complete beginners as well. The goal is to share knowledge, learn from one another, and connect.
Participating — whether as an attendee, sponsor, speaker, or volunteer — is a great opportunity to learn something new, build connections within the WordPress community, and contribute to an open-source project that enriches millions of websites and makes our digital daily lives easier and better.
WordCamps are run under the support and auspices of the WordPress Foundation, who help us to manage the payments from sponsors and to the event providers.
In case of left over, the WordPress Foundation will use it to fund other WordCamps and Projects worldwide that need that support.
