# About the Conference
8+
9+
We invite you to join hundreds of other folks for a three-day event to explore the art and science of documentation.
10+
The Write the Docs conference covers any topic related to documentation in the software industry.
11+
Past talks have also covered such diverse topics as empathy, the history of math symbols, and using emoji to keep your users' attention.
12+
13+
Write the Docs brings *everyone* who writes the docs together in the same room: Writers, developers, support engineers, community managers, developer relations, and more.
14+
We all have things to learn, and there's no better way than gathering at our events and sharing knowledge.

# Attendee Guide
7+
The Attendee Guide provides conference information and gives strategies and tips for all attendees (new and experienced) to get plugged in and connect with others! We’ve gathered info here that will help you navigate the conference like a pro and make you feel more at home.
8+
9+
## Where Can I Ask a Question?
10+
11+
Go to our **Registration** table! There will always be a member of our Welcome Wagon Team stationed here and available during all conference hours.
12+
13+
Whether you have a question about the schedule, where to eat, or how to connect with other attendees, they are your go-to for conference questions. If they don’t know the answer, they’ll find someone who does!
14+
15+
## Welcome Wagon Tours
16+
17+
Join us for an introduction to Write the Docs. We’ll go on a short tour of the venue and review information about the conference. While tours are designed to give first-time attendees all the information they need to feel comfortable at the conference, returning attendees often find them helpful as well. This gives everyone a chance to meet someone new. Bring any questions you may have!
18+
19+
Welcome Wagon Tours are scheduled for:
20+
21+
- **Sunday** - meet on the 1st floor at Registration by Martha's Cafe
22+
- 11:50am - Before lunch
23+
- 1:30pm - After lunch
24+
- 4:30pm - Before the Welcome Reception
25+
26+
- **Monday** - meet on the 2nd floor at the Registration table
27+
- 8:15am - Before the conference starts
28+
29+
## Conference Layout
30+
31+
View our [Venue page](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/venue/) for details and the layout of spaces during the conference.
32+
33+
We will provide a venue map in April.
34+
35+
## Food and Drinks
36+
37+
- Snacks, coffee, tea, and water are included with your ticket. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options will be offered.
38+
- Bring a water bottle as there are refill stations located around the venue.
39+
- 🆕 **NEW this year:** Two food carts will be brought in for Monday and Tuesday lunches from 11:30am-2pm. This is a great option for folks who want to stay onsite.
40+
- [Let's Roll](https://www.letsrollpdx.com/)
41+
- [Nacho's House](https://nachospdx.com/)
42+
- There are many food and beverage options within 0.5 miles (0.8 km) around the conference venue. Explore Portland’s amazing food scene on the [Visiting Portland page](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/visiting/).
43+
- The Welcome Wagon team will organize lunch and dinner meetups for folks interested in eating with others. Visit the **Registration** table during conference days to sign up.
44+
45+
## Dress Code
46+
We don’t have one! Portland is a casual-dress city and so is the Write the Docs conference.
47+
- You’ll be meeting business colleagues at this conference, though, so neat and comfortable are good dress guidelines.
48+
- Bring layers! Weather is on average high 65°F (18°C), low of 48°F (8°C), rainy, and partly sunny.
49+
- Bring appropriate hiking clothes and shoes for those going on the hike. Review the [Hike page](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/hike/) for more information.
50+

86+
87+
## Tips to Have a Great Conference
88+
89+
- Join the Write the Docs [Slack](https://www.writethedocs.org/slack/)! This is the main way for attendees to stay connected, make plans, and ask questions during the conference. This requires you complete a sign up form so we highly encourage you sign up *before* the conference begins.
90+
- Follow Write the Docs on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/18284823/admin/page-posts/published/), [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/writethedocs.bsky.social), and [Mastodon](https://fosstodon.org/@writethedocs).
91+
- Attend a Welcome Wagon tour!
92+
- Engage with other attendees, volunteers, staff, and speakers. Don’t forget to use Eric Holscher’s [Pac-Man Rule](https://www.ericholscher.com/blog/2017/aug/2/pacman-rule-conferences/) to leave room for others to join! The most important part of this conference (and *any* conference) is the people you meet. Set a goal for yourself to meet a few new people.
93+
- Review the [Speaker Schedule](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/speakers/) and choose which talks you want to attend the most. Spread out your time between talks, unconference sessions, networking, and breaks.
94+
- Check the [Unconference](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/unconference/) schedule regularly (this will be shared during the conference). People add new sessions all the time.
95+
- Give yourself and your brain a break! Conferences are exhilarating, but can also be exhausting. Grab a spot in the Sunset Room or take a quick walk.
96+
- Eat! There will be snacks available inside the conference but there are many restaurants close by.
97+
98+
## How Do I Participate in the Conference?
99+
100+
### Speaker Talks:
101+
- Listen! Take notes of remarkable and thoughtful ideas.
102+
- After a talk, use something you heard as a conversation starter with your colleagues or even the speakers during a break.
103+
104+
### Writing Day:
105+
106+
[Writing Day](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/writing-day/) is modeled after the concept of “sprints”. The main goal is to get interesting people in the same room, sharing their passions and goals, and collaborating to find creative solutions to solve a problem or issue.
107+
108+
- Sign up or bring a project to lead.
109+
- Attend and contribute to someone else’s project.
110+
111+
### Unconference:
112+
The [Unconference](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/unconference/) consists of attendee-driven sessions that provide the opportunity for anyone to lead, contribute, share ideas, and discuss ideas.
113+
114+
- Join and attend an unconference session.
115+
- Sign up to lead a session at the schedule board.
116+
117+
### Lightning Talks:
118+
119+
[Lightning Talks](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/lightning-talks/) are short talks, up to 5 minutes, where you share an idea, concept, or a bit of information that you find interesting.
120+
121+
- Sign up to give a talk! Sign up at the **Registration** table. Selections are announced on Monday and Tuesday before the lunch breaks.
122+
123+
### Sponsor Expo:
124+
125+
[Sponsor Expo](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/sponsors/) will include companies hiring and others sharing products.
126+
127+
- Approach a table and talk with sponsors.
128+
129+
### Welcome Reception:
130+
131+
Join us for our Sunday night welcome party! Stop by and say hello to the Welcome Wagon Team. Meet other attendees or staff! Snacks and beverages included.
132+
133+
### Monday Conference Party:
134+
135+
This is our main social event of the conference, and this year is held at [Jupiter NEXT](https://www.jupiterhotel.com/). Drinks and snacks provided by us.
136+
137+
It is a time to connect with other attendees outside of the scheduled programming. Come for an hour or stay the entire time!
138+
139+
**Time:**
140+
7-9pm
141+
142+
**Location:**
143+
Jupiter Hotel
144+
900 E Burnside St
145+
2nd floor
146+
147+
### Hike:
148+
149+
The [Hike](https://www.writethedocs.org/conf/{{shortcode}}/{{year}}/hike/) is the unofficial beginning of the conference. If you arrive before Saturday afternoon, join us for a walk and some fresh air!
150+
