Call for Sponsors

WordCamp Pune 2019 is an event to be held on 16th February 2019, at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune (IISER Pune). This Multi track event will include speaker sessions, lightning talks, Workshops and more. The Auditorium and Classrooms have a large foyer on the ground floor which will be used for networking and have the sponsor stalls.

WordCamp Pune is part of a network of WordCamps internationally, and is a community-driven event where all the speakers, organizers and volunteers donate their time voluntarily with no monetary gains.

Last year, we had 400 participants from various countries and we are expecting the same number this year. We aim to make WordCamp Pune 2019 an even bigger success and are, again, looking for the help of generous sponsors.

Expected Participants are WordPress Users including Enthusiasts, Developers, Web Designers, bloggers and open source software supporters. 

This is a great opportunity to support the WordPress community here in Pune. Sponsors enable us to have such a large venue, better facilities and most importantly create a great platform for educating ourselves on WordPress.

Sponsors played a vital role in making the conference available to so many people at an affordable rate and the event wouldn’t be possible without their support.

We have four different types of sponsorship slots. They are Administrator (Gold), Editor (Silver), Author (Bronze) and Subscriber (Friends).
