WhereCamp EU Needs You (To Become a Sponsor)

Want to help WhereCamp EU but don’t know how? Why not become a sponsor.

What is WhereCamp Europe?

WhereCamp Europe is an unconference; inspired by FooCamp and the Silicon Valley WhereCamp which traditionally follows Where 2.0. It’s open to everyone and you drive the agenda and the sessions. It’s what you make it, so come along, listen, contribute and speak. Taking place on 12-13th March in London.

Who Will Be There?

WhereCamp Europe is open to everyone; from über hacker to beginner, from geo-hobo to seasoned professional, from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, and from mobile. If you have an interest in geography and how it’s changing the way in which we interact with the world then you should come along.

Why Sponsor?

There is a lot of buzz already growing around the event, with half the 150 registrations available going in two hours. We haven’t publicised much so far, and the buzz will only grow as we release the remaining tickets in limited batches. The last year has seen a huge growth in the business of location, with massive uptake of location enabled devices, convergence of GPS, phone, camera and nomadic devices. Location is truly becoming ubiquitous. This is a chance to have your brand asssociated with the first WhereCamp in Europe and to connect with the grass root development community.

What you Get

£3500 – Gold Sponsorship

Logo on website, logo on t-shirt, logo on any promotional material, 5 guaranteed passes for WhereCampEU.

£1750 – Silver Sponsorship

Smaller logo on website, smaller logo on t-shirt, logo on any promotional material, 3 guaranteed passes for WhereCampEU.

£850 – Bronze Sponsorship

Smallest logo on website, smallest logo on t-shirt, logo on any promotional material, 1 guaranteed pass for WhereCampEU.

Early Bird Ticket Sell-Out Madness

Campers,

The keen and the organised have got in there and taken all the Early Bird tickets. We released 75 tickets on friday at 10am, and in two short hours the whole lot were gone. Missed out on a ticket? Not to worry, we will be releasing new sets in January.

Keyboard look like this? Subscribe to the blog and Twitter feeds to make sure you don’t miss the next release of tickets.

As an idea we were thinking of releasing some different passes – an EU pass for our continental campers, a friday-only pass, saturday-only pass and our Super Platinum Sponsor Pass™ for those who sponsor WhereCampEU. Next release scheduled for mid-January, if you think we should do something different with the tickets leave some words in the comments section.

WhereCamp EU is Coming!

Why should all the WhereCamp fun and games be confined to Silicon Valley; WhereCamp is coming to a location in Europe, bringing all the best that the world of geo has to offer … but with a distinctly European flavour.

What is WhereCamp Europe?

WhereCamp Europe is an unconference; inspired by FooCamp and the Silicon Valley WhereCamp which traditionally follows Where 2.0. It’s open to everyone and you drive the agenda and the sessions. It’s what you make it, so come along, listen, contribute and speak.

Who Will Be There?

WhereCamp Europe is open to everyone; from über hacker to beginner, from GIS to neogeography, from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 and beyond, from mobile, from web development. If you have an interest in geography and how it’s changing the way in which we interact with the world then you should come along.

When & Where?

We’re planning that right now and will update this site as soon as we have more information.
