WordCamp Cape Town 2011 welcomes our Supporters and Volunteers
WordCamp South Arica 2011 is on and coming to the mother city this September!
Welcome to our Sponsors!
It is with great pleasure that we announce rock star presentation company Missing Link and LightSpeed Web Development as Platinum Sponsors for this year’s WordCamp Cape Town 2011. Not to be outdone, WooThemes has come onboard as Gold Sponsor.
It is the Sponsors that make WordCamps a reality around the world and this year’s WordCamp Cape Town 2011 is no exception. In order to make WordCamp cheap and accessible for as many WordPress aficionados as possible we rely on the support and kind heartedness of the well-to-do members from our local South African WordPress community.
Get involved and get in touch using the Call for Sponsors form to set up your sponsorship for WordCamp CT 2011 and help us make this the most successful South African WordCamp ever. Thanks!
Volunteers and Community Involvement
WordCamps are informal community organized events that require a lot of work from a few (or hopefully a great many!) committed volunteers to pull off successfully.
No contribution is too small and we are looking for help in a lot of areas, including:
- AV technicians for Session Video Recording
- MC
- Registration staff
- Driving and Delivery/pickup of big stuff
- Setup and teardown at beginning and end of event.
- Breakfast & Afternoon Snack Setup/Breakdown
- Bar staff
- Cleanup
Special thanks to The Forge for the WordCamp CT 2011 website theme, with design by Sue Rutherford and dev by Mark Bloomfield. It’s looking great!
