Every year, WordCamp London relies on the financial generosity of WordPress agencies to help support the cost of organising and hosting a successful WordCamp. This year, we’re delighted to be joined by WP Engine, Heart Internet, 34SP.com and SiteGround as Stall tier sponsors.

Our Stall sponsors will be exhibiting during the event, so please do take the time to pop over and say hello; you may want to ask them questions about their services and products or simply say thank you!

But first, a big thanks to our Boxes sponsors.

There are sponsors who support a few WordCamps, and there are sponsors that support all of them! The following Global Sponsors have taken on the mission of providing funding for all WordCamps happening worldwide, and we’re super grateful to have them with us for WordCamp London 2017.

Join us in thanking them for their ongoing commitment to the WordPress community, and drop by to say hello on the day 🙂

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to get this far and whilst we’re stuffing our faces with all things nice, now is your chance to get involved; not only have we opened ticket sales, we’ve also announced our Call for Topics, Call for Speakers and Call for Sponsors, inviting all you good folk to join us in our fourth edition of WordCamp London.

We love children and parents at WordCamps; so we’re also bringing our crèche back for 2017! 

Wondering why you should sponsor? Or have questions about applying to speak? We’ve hopefully answered them in these resources, but don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly if you have any questions.

From all of us here at WordCamp London,

Happy Holidays!

We’re thrilled to announce that tickets for WordCamp London 2017 are now on sale!

You’ll see several different ticket types on our Tickets page, which we’ll do our best to explain clearly.

There is still the conventional Conference Only Ticket, but we also have;

• Patron & Balcony Tickets – as close to the actual cost of a ticket as it gets. If you can, think about giving a little more to WordCamp London 2017 and purchasing a Balcony or Patron ticket. You’ll be helping to ensure the event remains accessible, as well as contribute towards making WordCamp London 2017 the best event it can be.
• Contributor Day Tickets 
• Crèche Tickets – book a place for your child at our crèche, in conjunction with Nipperbout.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you there!

Head over to the Box Office now to grab your tickets!

For the second time in the history of WordCamp London, we’re delighted to announce that we’ll be holding a crèche at WordCamp London 2017!

Who will be looking after my children?  

We’re very pleased to be working in conjunction with Nipperbout to provide childcare services during WordCamp London 2017.

Nipperbout is the UK’s most trusted national provider of mobile childcare & children’s activity entertainment for 0-16 year-olds. They’ve been delivering conference and event childcare to exhibitions, conferences and festivals for 22 years and are the UK’s only national mobile childcare provider regularly inspected by Ofsted.

You will not want to miss it!

WCDLN 2017 Event Theme

Every year WordCamp London has a unique theme inspired by the big city, and its culture, traditions and history. In the past we’ve been transport, punk and Victoriana; this year, we’re going bright-lights-big-city with a glitz and glam theatre theme.

The West End theatre district has a long history in the capital, and you’ll find references to our event theme in our designs, communications, sponsorship packages and everything else we can get our jazz hands on.

This is an excuse to be even more theatrical than usual – how could we resist?!

Join the fun: here’s what’s coming up next
