WordCamp Lancaster UK 2013 sponsorship
WordCamp Lancaster UK 2013, which takes place on 13-14 July 2013, is put together by volunteers on a not for profit basis.
Since 2008 WPUK has produced the only annual two day WordCamp weekend in the UK, held at a different city each July
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 Lancaster UK 2013 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 listings of sponsors, eg on websites 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.
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 Lancaster UK 2013. 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 the Core Group.
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.
