Desert Code Camp

I posted on Twitter today that Desert Code Camp is not happening this year. The venue that we use, Chandler-Gilbert Community College is going through some renovations and just could not fit us in this year, unfortunately. A few people asked what we would need from a venue to help make the Desert Code Camp happen. I put together a list below:

• Should be able to support 700-900 people (it grows about 100 people every Code Camp)
• Should have at least 15 rooms
  • Rooms should have a projector
  • At least seven rooms should be able to accommodate 30 people
  • At least three rooms should be able to accommodate 75 people
  • Preferably have three rooms that can support 100+ people.
• There should be a large area to host breakfast, lunch, and a sponsor area for all of the attendees
• The venue should have reliable WiFi for the attendees
• Preferably free or very low-cost since this event is free

Some nice to have:

• A room/venue large enough to hold all of the attendees for an opening and closing keynote.
• Amble (free) parking for the attendees.

If you have any questions or would like to throw your venue in the hat, please reach out to me.
