Hi, I’m Ken. Many of you know me as the man in the green hat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Earlier this year our Marketing Department was pulled away from the conference to work on other things, and I offered to take over the planning to make sure we still had a conference this year. In May I went to finalize things with the venue\u00a0and took a few folks with me along with me. We had two primary goals.<\/p>\n
The venue for the 2017 cPanel Conference<\/a> is the W in Fort Lauderdale<\/a>. Located on the A1A scant feet from the beautiful Atlantic Ocean, the W offers a great space for the conference. All of the rooms and spaces needed for the conference are located in the same area, on the same floor. No finding yourself in a maze of twisty little passages that all look alike with this venue!<\/span><\/p>\n We will be using the W both for the conference itself, and to host our Wednesday night evening event: The game night.<\/p>\n The hotel also offers some great outdoor spaces. With the late summer date and cool ocean breezes, the outdoor spaces should provide great locations for lunches and gatherings.<\/span><\/p>\n Fort Lauderdale is host to lots of interesting places, and the two venues that we chose for the evening events this year are absolutely remarkable! Each of these places have such unique personalities, it was hard not to choose them.<\/p>\n The conference starts Monday Night with a meet & greet event at the\u00a0Blue Martini<\/a>. This place struck me as something straight out of the Rat-Pack<\/a> era. During our visit, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Dean Martin<\/a> or ‘Ol Blue Eyes<\/a> was going to saunter up to the bar for a drink.<\/p>\n Stache<\/a> has a completely different, equally enjoyable atmosphere. Its multiple floors are built with plenty of nooks and crannies, and it seemed like there was always something to discover. This bar is more like a speakeasy<\/a>, allowing for tons of exploration.<\/p>\n There will be a bunch of other blog posts from other folks who will be presenting at the conference as we get closer, so make sure you keep your eyes here. For now, here is what you need to know about the 2017 cPanel conference:<\/p>\n I have spent many, many years at cPanel, and I am very excited to be leading the charge for this year’s cPanel Conference in Florida. Please join us!<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi, I’m Ken. Many of you know me as the man in the green hat.
