WordCamp Edinburgh UK 2012 sponsorship

WordCamp Edinburgh UK 2012, which takes place on 14-15 July 2012, is put together by volunteers on a not for profit basis.

Funds raised go towards reducing the ticket costs for attendees and putting on the event.

Sponsors are the people who make this possible.

Sponsoring WordCamp Edinburgh UK 2012 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 forum.

The audience at WordCamp 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.

All posters and banners must be provided by sponsors.

Complementary tickets – refunds for complementary ticket will not be issued if you subsequently cannot attend WordCamp Edinburgh UK 2012.

There will be a deadline, to allow for printing, for inclusion of logos and names on WordCamp Edinburgh UK 2012 t-shirts.

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.

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