WordCamp Bristol is looking for Sponsors

This is the second WordCamp Bristol, and it’s growing.  Actually, it’s doubling in size.

Bristol is a fantastic city for tech in general and for WordPress in particular.  Many people consider Bristol as the most exciting city in the UK outside of London for tech.

A few facts about the Bristol tech scene:

  • Local WordPress MeetUp has over 800 members
  • Bristol held the first do_action day in Europe, as lauded by Matt Mullenweg in State of the Word 2018
  • Named 6th best tech city across Europe, Middle East and Africa
  • Bristol ranked as the number 1 region for tech start ups in the UK

At the moment sponsorship packages are going quickly.  Fortunately we still have a few left.  In particular we are hoping to find companies with green credentials; that would make us very happy.  We love to promote sustainability.  However, any company which works with WordPress is welcome.
