WordCamp Iloilo 2018 is looking for generous sponsors to support the growth of the local WordPress community!

WordCamp is a non-profit event so we rely on funding from sponsors to make the event a success. Any contribution that you provide for our community will both help make WordCamp Iloilo possible and get your brand in front of the passionate type of people who should know about it – the type who go to events on weekends to talk shop. Our attendees include designers, developers, bloggers, small business owners, entrepreneurs, educators, and students from throughout the Iloilo Province and across the country. In order to drive costs down for our attendees, we look to sponsors to help make WordCamp part of this thriving open-source community.

WordPress Iloilo is actively seeking a wide variety of topics and a diverse speaker pool. You don’t have to be a professional speaker, if you are passionate about your topic and want to genuinely help out the community – we would love to have you.

WordCamps are volunteer driven events and speaking is also considered a way of volunteering at the event, hence it isn’t a paid gig or linked with sponsorship in any way. In fact, speakers are expected to pay for their own travel and accommodation.

What’s in it for you?

• You’ll be sharing your expertise live, with a warm and enthusiastic audience.
• Being a professional speaker is NOT required. HOWEVER, you must know what you are talking about.
• Your desire to give back to the community.
• In your speaker submission, let us know how your talk can relate to a WordPress audience.
• We’re always on the lookout for new speakers of ALL ages and backgrounds. We also would love to see veteran speaker submissions.
• You have to know how to spell WordPress properly (cap the P!) and Respect the WordPress logo/trademarks.
• Feel free to be creative and apply ideas for group discussions, Q&As, Demos, Workshops and anything that you could manage in an auditorium / classroom environment.

This being the first WordCamp Iloilo, we can’t do it alone.

WE NEED YOU!

If you love WordPress, you can be a WordCamp volunteer. You don’t need previous experience, we just need your energy and enthusiasm. You won’t be doing this all day – you can take a break from your duties and see any specific conference talk you want. We just ask that you make sure that everyone is having a good time and that includes you.

As a volunteer you’ll get to meet and speak with attendees from all over the world, rub elbows with our speakers, organizers and much more. Plus, volunteers get free tickets and receive exclusive volunteer-only swags.
