Hey there Groovers, you are probably wondering when we are going to get around to letting you know all the amazing things happening with the now famous WordCamp Brisbane after party.

You may have questions burning inside you like:

• Where is it going to be?
• What time does it start?
• Can I wear my onesie?
• Or what the frack is a WordCamp after party anyways?

Well buckle up little camper because I am here to give you all this information and more right now.

The after party is a fun event, and a good chance to catch up with old friends or make new ones, it is traditionally held on the Saturday night so as to allow for those who need to get away early on Sunday to still enjoy the festivities.

We have chosen a most auspicious venue to hold this year’s galah event, and it will be in the beautiful Botanic Bar at QUT.

Proceedings will kick off at 6:30pm on Saturday after WordCamp has concluded for the day and run until late.
We’d suggest you take the opportunity to take a stroll over to South Bank for the Night Noodle Markets (or many other food outlets) or up into the CBD for some dinner with the new friends you’ve met during WordCamp.

The wearing of onesies is allowed and encouraged, providing you wear safe footwear as well.
You’ll need your WordCamp badge to get in the door, so please don’t forget it!

We would like to thank our gracious sponsor The Code Company for making this event possible!

The Code Company are an Australian technical agency, specialising primarily in WordPress development. Solving complex technical problems for corporates, publishers and government alike.

So we hope you can come along and help us party the night away, have a few drinks, and have a truly awesome time.

WordCamp Brisbane would like to take the time to thank another one of our awesome Gold sponsors.

WordCamp Brisbane is happy to announce that we’ve put together our sponsorship prospectus.
WordCamp Brisbane is the only WordCamp currently scheduled for 2017 in Australia and is shaping up to be even bigger than WordCamp Brisbane 2015 and WordCamp Sunshine Coast 2016.
We’re inviting any companies interested in supporting WordCamp Brisbane, and by extension, the WordPress community in Australia, to support this fantastic event!

WordCamps are hailed worldwide as one of the best value for money conferences on the planet, and with WordPress now powering in excess of 27% of the web, they attract a large and diverse audience from the technology sector, from bloggers, designers and all the way up to the leaders of the web community.

WordCamps keep ticket prices extremely low and normally occur on the weekend to help ensure that people of all walks of life can make the event – no matter their profession or background. In order to keep the ticket prices so low, we rely upon the generosity of our sponsors to cover the majority of the cost of the event – while also keeping the costs of our suppliers as low as possible to allow us to accept sponsorship from businesses small and large.

If WordPress helps your business thrive, you build on top of WordPress, or you just want to help support the Australian WordPress community we’d welcome your interest in sponsoring WordCamp Brisbane.

Please check out our Sponsorship Prospectus to see if any of our packages suit your company and get in touch through the sponsorship contact form.
