Consider doing a Speed Sparks session of 20 slides in 5 minutes to share the gist of your idea in a fast-paced presentation style that was a huge hit last year! *Volunteer* If you would like to help us run the show on the ground in Oakland or in-world, we invite you to join the team. It’s easy to ask “Why don’t they do X?” but the real fun comes when you help make it happen!

We have many levels of sponsorship, so it’s more than affordable to help support this non-profit, community produced event – become a sponsor! <http://www.slconvention.org/sponsors/call-for-sponsors/> *Organize a Social Event* We purposely keep the convention schedule light on Friday, August 12th to make sure there’s plenty of time for socializing and networking, and to give you the opportunity to organize your own fun events. Check out the Social Events & Mixers page to organize a social event<http://www.slconvention.org/program/social-events-mixers/>or outing for your friends and communities. Need ideas for things to do? We’ve put together a terrific guide of things to do In & Around Oakland to help you get started! *Planning Your Trip* We’ve also worked hard this year to help keep the cost of the convention affordable, and we have a number of resources available to help you plan your trip. The convention will be held at the Oakland Marriott City Center in the heart of downtown Oakland, CA – just a 10 minute train ride from San Francisco. We’ve negotiated the best room rates we’ve ever gotten – $109 a night<http://www.slconvention.org/travel-info/hotel-accommodations/>for up to quad occupancy, and free wireless internet access in guest rooms. You must be registered for the convention to receive the group rate discount, and you will receive the link to reserve your rooms in the email confirmation you receive when you register for SLCC.
