As well as our standard sponsorship packages, this year we’re once again giving attendees the opportunity to support WordCamp London 2017 as a small sponsor, simply by paying the true cost of a ticket.
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.
Last year we had a crèche, live transcribers, a multi-faith and a lactation room to welcome everyone to our event. Balcony & Patron tickets help us add these features to keep the event inclusive and accessible.
