Your organizers couldn’t have staged WordCamp Ottawa 2014 without the generous support of our Sponsors.
Sponsor contributions have enabled us to host this event at a phenomenally low cost to the attendees. About 75% of the budget comes from sponsorship. The rest is from ticket sales. Quite simply, without Sponsor contributions we could not hold WordCamp in the same way we do now. In addition, their strong support gives us the confidence to look ahead, as we have begun to do, and envision WordCamp Ottawa 2015.
Thank you.
