]]> Thanks to Fused Network, lunch at WordCamp Toronto is going to be fantacular! Saturday’s lunch is a Southwestern theme featuring a fajitas bar. All the usual suspects will be there - guacamole, lettuce, five bean spread, cheese, etc.

Fill it with chicken, beef or a veggie option on 12″ whole wheat wrap and take some Mexican rice with veggies and beans for the side. Oh yeah - dessert … apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and cookies!

Three cheers for Fused Network!

Hip-hip-hooray!
Hip-hip-hooray!
Hip-hip-hooray!

Fused is also sponsoring the Sunday lunch - we’re still finalizing that menu but we’ll post it shortly.

Who’s Fused you ask? Good question:
Fused Network is a leading provider of web hosting services, including thousands of Wordpress blogs. Launched in 2001 they’ve been providing quality hosting out of downtown Toronto.

]]> For those of you who will be bringing your laptops to WordCamp Toronto, we’re pleased to announce the Laptop Charging station. This will work just like a coat check (minus the fee and obligation to tip). Simply drop your laptop off at the charging station, take your claim ticket and we’ll charge your laptop for you.

The Laptop Charging station will be staffed throughout the entire conference so you don’t have to worry about theft or loss if you just plugged it in to a random wall outlet. Don’t feel like taking your laptop with you to lunch? Leave it at the Laptop Charging station.
