Multi-event Sponsorship Program Update- Week 1

The team gathered for the first time last week to begin discussions on how to put a program together that would facilitate getting companies interested in sponsoring multiple WordCamps in touch with the different organization teams involved in each WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more..

We started a list of criteria that needs to be addressed in this program, that sponsors would likely consider when looking at an event for sponsorship. Included in the list were:

• Geographic regions
  • US and it regions ( for companies who only wish to sponsor US-based WordCamps)
  • Canada and US ( as this is where the majority of WordCamps are held)
  • International( this may require further breakdown into more specific regions, such as Europe, LatAm, SouthAmerica etc… )
• Size of WordCamp- Number  attendees
• WordCamp budget -  recognizing that it is more expensive to put a WordCamp together in some areas than others

We`ve asked for a pile of data from Andrea to help us put together a single program. Once we have that , we will use it to help determine how the packages can best be shaped to minimize the number of packages available ( and that need to be maintained).

Next meeting is Dec 12
