WordCamp Birmingham UK 2015 sponsorship

Introduction

WordCamp Birmingham UK 2015, which takes place on the weekend of 7-8 February 2015, is put together by volunteers on a not for profit basis.

This event is the follow up to WordCamp Bournemouth UK 2014.

Since 2008 WPUK has produced a series of eight WordPress weekends, each one held at a different UK venue.

Funds raised through sponsorship contribute to reducing ticket prices for attendees and staging the event.

Sponsors are the people who make this event possible.

Sponsoring WordCamp Birmingham UK 2015 puts you in touch with a very special community.

It demonstrates your support for the WordPress community in the UK – a cross section of people which you’d find challenging to contact through any other media.

The audience at the event crosses many industries and sectors, from casual bloggers and SMEs to enterprise and government.

Being forward thinking types, attendees are often key influencers within their organisations, especially in creative, strategy, technology and communications.

There are five levels of sponsorship available:

• if you’re interested in sponsoring the event at Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze level contact WPUK using the subject line ‘WordCamp Birmingham 2015 sponsorship’
• if you’re an individual or small enterprise you can purchase a microsponsor ticket

Ordering of sponsorship credits

All listings of sponsors, eg on websites, presentations and event literature, will be in order of the value of sponsorship, starting with the highest contributor, and then in alphabetical order if sponsorship is of the same value. In some cases this order may be reflected in the relative size of logos and credits.

The venue has been requested to provide tables and chairs in the sponsor exhibition area for the use of Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsors – however such sponsors are advised to bring their own exhibition stands.

All posters and banners must be provided by sponsors.

If sponsors have any specific questions or requirements please get in touch.

Complementary tickets

Refunds for complementary ticket will not be issued if ticket holders subsequently cannot attend the event. Complementary tickets cannot be resold, however tickets can be transferred to sponsor staff or customers as long as the ticket reference identifier is also transferred, and the names of such ticket holders are provided to WPUK.

Notes

All sponsors are able to propose to take a session but the subject must be WordPress related. Such proposals will go through the same procedure as all other proposed sessions, with no promise of inclusion in the running order.

When sponsorship has been agreed for Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze level, an invoice will be issued, which will include details of how to transfer funds to the WPUK bank account.

Please note sponsor credits, links etc will not be posted until sponsorship payments have been received in the WPUK bank account.
