We are currently accepting corporate sponsorship for WordCamp Whistler 2009. While we charge a small price of admission, there are still sizable expenses that must be taken care of.

As Whistler is one of the world’s premiere locations for skiing and snowboarding, and is also the site for the 2010 Winter Olympics, we’re extremely excited about having a WordCamp up on the mountain.

Given that a large majority of the people attending WordCamp Whistler are social media experts, the exposure for the sponsors will undoubtedly be fairly widespread. During the event we will be taking questions from the internet for speakers, and utilizing Twitter, Flickr and other social media technologies whenever possible.

Wish List

  • We are currently trying to secure a company to live stream the event over the internet in real-time, which will increase the potential audience by a large factor.
  • Also, in the spirit of other WordCamps, WordCamp Whistler will be a not-for-profit event. Any excess money collected during WordCamp Whistler will either be donated to charity, or used to finance part of another local conference or WordCamp.

    View our current sponsors who will be showcased on the site along with any others that come on board.
