One of the many cool things about WordCamp is that it is one of the most affordable technology conferences. It’s not unusual for conferences to charge over R1,000. With WordCamp, we keep our ticket prices to be less than 20USD per day. The reason that we can do this is because of our amazing sponsors who step up and help us.
Without their continued support, there is no way that we would be able to make WordCamp as affordable and accessible as it is. There financial support means that we are able to deliver for two days, including all meals.
So, without any further ado, please join me in thanking:
