Our Sponsors
A WordCamp needs many different parts to be a success and chief amongst them are our sponsors, who dig deep to financially support us and help to finance the event over-all.
You may have noticed the ticket prices this year are $60 NZD for a two day event, including an after party? Well, that’s due to the support of our sponsors the true cost of a ticket is approximately $170NZD, so if you see one around at the WordCamp simply say Thanks for sponsoring #WCAKL.
