you will be given a white lanyard - you must wear this at all times while in the building
stay within the event area - if you need to leave, ask a campmaker or attendee with a green lanyard to escort you

do not take any photographs within the building - for security reasons, only our official photographer, will be taking photos
If you have any issues or questions regarding photo ID or accessing the building, please contact our team before the event.
5. Shaping the unconference agenda
GovCamp Cymru has no pre-booked talks. If you have an idea, question or challenge - pitch it.
