Watching what you bring to WordCamp LV.
It’s always our mission to make WordCamp LV as inclusive and welcoming as possible, with that in mind we’re requesting that attendees only wear scented products as absolutely necessary. While we can appreciate a good deodorant we ask that the Cologne, Perfume, and scented lotions be saved for another occasion.
Chemical fragrances affect folks who suffer from migraines and allergies, and you can respect the personal environment of others at our event by not wearing any. More than two million Americans have fragrance allergies or sensitivities.
“For most people, fragrance allergy symptoms abate once the scent is out of range. But this isn’t always the case.”

We also need to request that no one bring popcorn into the space. Our space is not large, and we eat in one of the rooms we use for talks. Please be considerate about what you bring to WordCamp. We’ve instituted a popcorn ban and have approached our caterer and sponsors to make sure they are aware so they can do their best to accommodate us.
But don’t worry you’ll be fed! We’ll be providing snacks, water, coffee, tea, and lunch to meet the needs of all attendees”
Thanks for your help in making this WordCamp accessible for everyone!
