Parking

Park in the Vermont Street Parking Garage (1004 W Vermont St) which is connected to the Campus Center. Enter the garage from Vermont St. (Vermont St is one-way east-bound, so you'll need to turn onto Vermont St from Barnhill.) Prices for parking garages can be found by visiting IUPUI Parking Services. (Expect to pay $10-$11 for parking for the whole day if you park in the garage and do not have a valid IUPUI, IU, or Purdue parking permit.)

To access the Campus Center from the Vermont Street Parking Garage you will need to take the elevator in the NE corner to the third floor of the garage. Exit the elevators to your right to gain access to the Campus Center. Once in the Campus Center you will be on the second floor.

Registration

When you arrive, please go to the registration desk on the 4th floor of the IUPUI Campus Center to pick up your name badge, session schedule and lunch ticket.

Sponsors

Please visit our sponsor tables in the registration area. They might have freebees to give away. During the sessions, there will be books from Wiley and Drupal Indy T-Shirts given away.

Wifi

Wifi username and passwords will be on your name badges. Connect to "IU Guest" and visit any webpage. You will be redirected to a login page. More help can be found here: http://kb.iu.edu/data/ayfi.html. If you have a power strip or an extension cord, you might want to bring it so you can plug in your laptop.

General Info

IUPUI has given this space to use free of charge. Please be respectful of the facilities and anyone we are sharing them with. Remember this is a University in session so there will be students around. We want to make a good impression so we can use this space again next year.

Volunteers will be wearing Drupal Indy T-Shirts throughout the day. If you need any assistance, please find one of them.

Call For Sessions

by dudenhofer on Sep 30, 2011

Drupal Camp Indy is now Official and scheduled for November 5, 2011! We are expecting a lot more this year, with the event being hosted on 2 floors of the Campus Center at IUPUI, giving us the opportunity to have more than double the attendance of our last Drupal Camp!

We are working hard this year to ensure quality sessions for Indianapolis attendees, so members of the group are working hard at getting some respected speakers from the Drupal Community - even a keynote speaker! With respect to these featured sessions, any member of the Drupal Community can submit a session. Submitted sessions will then be voted on by your peers and the most popular sessions will be scheduled. So if you have an idea and would like to present at a Drupal Camp, be sure to register for the camp and then submit a session.

We hope you will join us this year as we take the Drupal Community in Indianapolis up a notch with this Drupal Camp event!
