Purchase Now

We’re happy to announce that Tickets are officially on sale! If you’re definitely going to be coming along to #WCBNE (on October 27-28, 2018) get your ticket early to ensure that you don’t miss out.

Tickets are available for the super-low price of $50, which covers two days of talks spread over two tracks, morning tea, lunch, tea/coffee, and some special yet-to-be-announced swag! We can afford to keep the ticket price this low thanks to our amazing sponsors. If your company would like to help make this event a success we’re still looking for sponsors!

Every ticket sale helps our bottom line, and allows us to properly gauge interest and attendance – the number of people in attendance affects everything, the amount of swag we order, the number of sponsors we receive, the amount of coffee to pre-order, the amount of food needed, and even the size of the venue rooms!

Ticket sales will remain open until tickets are sold out, or, we need to close sales due to the risk of running out of one of the above (food, coffee, swag, etc) – We have to lock in head counts for orders weeks in advance, estimating the number of last minute ticket purchases is impossible!

If you’re not yet sure if WordCamp Brisbane is for you, or maybe you want to wait for the schedule to be released, check out the 2017 schedule and videos from WordCamp Brisbane 2017 for an idea of what to expect. If you have any questions, please get in touch!

Our Call For Speakers is closing at the end of this week, Make sure you get your submissions in by September 7th!

PS. For those of you who reserved a ticket you should’ve received an email with instructions on how to claim your reserved tickets! You’ll have a few weeks to claim those tickets, but we’d prefer you to purchase them ASAP to help with our cash flow 🙂

Did you know? WordCamp Brisbane tickets sell for only $50, but the actual cost of an attendee is almost 3x that? It’s thanks to our Sponsors that we’re able to make WordCamp Brisbane happen.

We’ve recently finalised our sponsorship prospectus, and we’re officially inviting anyone who is interested in Sponsoring WordCamp Brisbane 2018 to get in contact with us – We’ve got several packages this year to match most budgets.

Sponsor WordCamp Brisbane

WordCamps are known to be one of the best value for money conferences, with packages starting as low as AUD $500 and hundreds of WordPress End-Users and Developers in attendance it’s a great way to share your brand with prospective customers and future employees.

Your sponsorship is what allows us to keep our ticket prices at such low prices, it ensures that members of the WordPress community are able to attend no matter what their background or level of technical experience.

WordCamp Brisbane 2015 and 2017 were sell-out events with 250+ and 350+ attendees respectively, and 2018 is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever!

WordCamp Brisbane is a community event that brings together designers, bloggers, developers, artists, small business owners, entrepreneurs, and educators from all across Queensland, as well as Australia and the rest of the world. It’s our mission to have WordCamp Brisbane represent the passion, talent and diversity of that community, and we want YOU to be a part of it!

Talks for all skill levels will be considered, and a presentation on things you learned setting up your very first website can be just as valuable as a technical walk-through of how user capabilities and roles are implemented within WordPress.

Please be aware that we do NOT require you to be famous, an “expert,” a programmer, even specifically credentialed or anything like that, and if you haven’t spoken at a conference before don’t let that hold you back either! All we ask is that you be able to present your chosen topic passionately and respectfully.

Feel free to submit more than one talk, but make sure each talk is submitted separately.

Submissions close at 11:59pm on the 7th of September, but please get your talk in as soon as possible to allow us time to assess all entries suitably.

We look forward to receiving your submission 🙂
