Not able to attend this year's Warpstock in person?

While it's not quite the same as the live Warpstock experience, you may still watch and even participate in the event.

If you enjoy streaming the conference, please consider donating (see PayPal Donate button on the left side of the homepage) to help defray the cost of presenting Warpstock.

First, visit the presentation schedule to find out when your sessions of particular interest will be presented (remember, Orlando, Florida is on Eastern Standard Time, GMT -0500). Next, follow the directions, below:

We will be using YouTube Live as our streaming server again this year. Go to the WarpEvents page there. (For veteran streamers, open your YouTube app on your smart TV or streaming device and just search for "WarpEvents" to find it.)

Once there, locate the Warpstock 2019 Live Stream.

To ask questions live during sessions, use IRC. The URL for the #netlabs channel is irc://freenode/netlabs, or, if you prefer to access IRC via a web browser, you may do so here.

We've added some new and hopefully useful Fact Sheets for everyone attending this year's event. Topics include ground transportation from the airport, car rental, area attractions, and local dining.

Fact Sheets are generally one-page PDFs to print, fold, and take along wherever you go at Warpstock. We hope you find them useful!

Warpstock's contract with the hotel this year calls for the availability of the group rate to end on September 30. After that, rooms will be available at whatever the going rate is, and as rooms are available. Don't wait! Reserve your room today, and if you haven't yet registered for this year's Warpstock, there's no time like the present.

Book your hotel stay via by telephone: 1-800-456-4000 or 1-407-856-8896. Use the booking code "WARPSTOCK" to get the conference rate (King or Two Double: $104/night). The group rate is applicable three (3) days prior to and three (3) days after the event, based upon availability.

The news around the globe is replete with reports that the continued grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX is disrupting carrier flight schedules for many airlines, even those not heavily reliant upon that equipment. In addition, due to the shuffling and reshuffling of pilots, crews, routes, and other "necessities of air travel," even routes not normally handled by these planes are being adversely affected. Don't wait to book your flights until the last minute!

Warpstock's hotel contract extends the group rate ($104 USD per night; single or double) to include up to three (3) days prior to and three (3) days after the event, based upon availability. This means that you may book an extended stay, and if your room is available outside the event dates of November 8-10, you will be able to take advantage of the group rate for your stay.

Book early to ensure availability!

Remember, room availability for the event may only be guaranteed through September 30 and you must register with the hotel by phone in order to get the conference rate (use the booking code "WARPSTOCK"): 1-800-456-4000 or 1-407-856-8896. See the registration page for details and to register for this year's event.

Attendance at this year's Warpstock is critical to ensure the future of these live events. Orlando is truly wonderful in November, especially for those living in the more northern latitudes. There should be plenty of time to get outside to enjoy the Florida sunshine, and there are lots of extracurricular activities available.

Don't wait! Register NOW!

As we wrap up the last of another successful Warpstock event, we want to extend our thoughts and prayers to all those affected by Hurricane Florence in the US. We are aware of at least one regular Warpstock attendee who is located within a designated evacuation area. Please stay safe and healthy - all of you.

To those participating in the relief efforts, we salute your noble work. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, as well, for a safe and successful mission. Thank you for your service to those in need.

The Warpstock Board of Directors
