Tickets as sponsorship: Become a Studio or Patron sponsor at WordCamp London 2018

Posted on by Franz Vitulli

Alongside our sponsorship packages, this year we’re once again giving attendees the opportunity to support WordCamp London as a small sponsor. If you are interested, we have designed two options for you, and we’ve called them Studio and Patron tickets.

Studio tickets

A Studio ticket provides you with the opportunity to become a WordCamp London sponsor by purchasing a conference ticket as close to the actual cost of attending the event as possible.

Studio tickets give you full access to the conference on 14th & 15th of April. As well as knowing you’re helping us create a better event, you’ll get your brand exposed on the WordCamp London website, for an accessible price of £250.

Patron tickets

A Patron ticket gives you full access to the conference on 14th & 15th April, but is double the price of a standard conference ticket. It’s ideal for WordPress freelancers and small, new businesses to contribute to the WordPress community with a little bit extra.

If you have any questions, email us at london@wordcamp.org or reach out via Twitter (https://twitter.com/WordCampLondon), we’ll answer as soon as possible.
