 ## Pre-Work for EmberConf Contributor's Workshop
 
-Hi! Thanks for participating in the EmberConf Contributor’s Workshop! 
+Hi! Thanks for participating in the Ember.js Contributor’s Workshop! 
 
 We only have 3 hours for the event, so help make the most of your time, there are some things you need to do ahead of time. Most attendees should budget at least 2 hours for this and try to do it at least 5-10 days before the event. The facilitators will be best able to help walk you through any issues you encounter if they aren’t last-minute requests. Send any questions or requests for help to @locks and @jenweber on the [Ember.js Community Slack](https://ember-community-slackin.herokuapp.com/)
