Hello Drupalcamp Attendees! We're only three days out from the big event - read below for information on what to expect and what to bring!

1) What to expect: If you're new to the Drupalcamp® experience, you are in for a treat! The day starts off in the Trellon Room (auditorium) with an introduction by DrupalEasy developer, Michael Anello. He will give you an overview of the days events including the multiple tracks, rooms, timeframes, etc.
The entirety of Saturday will be filled with sessions. These will be held in various classrooms and auditoriums within Rollins College. Take a look at the session schedule at http://fldrupalcamp.org/program/session-schedule. Lunch is 11:30 - 1:00. We'll have the lunch area divided into separate 'interest groups' to facilitate networking. You pick where you want to eat!
Definitely don't miss out on Drupal / Non-profit rockstar Michael Haggarty's keynote which occurs immediately following lunch in the Trellon Room (auditorium). Michael is the CEO of Trellon and is a veritable know-it-all in the worlds of Drupal, CRM, and non-profits.
