Call for Sponsors

After an incredible inaugural WordCamp Europe last year, the official WordPress conference for the entire continent is back! September 27th to 29th, with Sofia, Bulgaria hosting this year.

Some highlights from last year:

  • 700+ attendees
  • Speakers ranging from Matt Mullenweg (Co-founder of WordPress), Joost de Valk (Yoast SEO) to Vitaly Friedman (Smashing Magazine)
  • 92% of attendees liked it so much, they said they would come back the next year

2014 will build on that success and put forward some very unique qualities:

  • 900+ attendees
  • Highly visible sponsor spaces (we learnt from last year)
  • Large segment of influencers and power users (70% of attendees last year flew in from outside of the country)
  • Plenty of bang for buck (sponsorship packages are cheaper than last year due to venue/location)

Package information can be found here.

The top tier packages were all gone within 24 hours last year, so hurry up and fill out the sponsorship form!

Help WordCamp Europe 2014

Last year’s WordCamp Europe, in Leiden, was a great success, not only because of the amazing attendance and great speakers, but because of the exceptional team of volunteers who donated their time and energy to make it an amazing event.

Volunteers are the backbone of any WordCamp – they’re the people that make sure everything is set up in advance, and that everything runs smoothly on the day.

That’s why we need your help! We need with administration before the event, and with practically running the event in Sofia. We’re looking for people with skill in all sorts of areas: running microphones around, processing registration, doing administration, helping out with speakers and sponsors, and generally spreading joy and happiness.

If you’d like to help out, you can learn more on our volunteer page. There’s a survey at the bottom of the page where you can fill in your details and let us know that you’d like to help.

If you would like to share your experience, know-how, and wisdom with the European WordPress community, you’ll hardly find a better (or bigger) stage. So think big, be bold, and impress us with your application; we will give you the opportunity to spread your word to hundreds of people. The deadline for applications is the 5th of July, 2014.

Think hard about what you want to share, why you want to share it, and how you’re going to do it. We’re already impatient to hear your ideas.

Good luck and see you in Sofia?
