Let’s talk about the budget
WordCamp Brighton is one month away and we’re all getting very excited!
Still, if we’re really going to organise this event in the open, it’s time you knew about the budget. And it’s time you knew, we need to raise a bit more sponsorship.
[Update, 2nd August 2017: We’re very pleased to say we’ve now reached our target. Thank you everyone for spreading the word and thank you again to our wonderful sponsors.]
Diversity tickets – 10 free tickets for people from under-represented groups
The WordPress community spans the globe and includes thousands of people who are interested in WordPress. If you have an interest in WordPress, you’re a part of the community 😄
We’re working on creating an inclusive WordCamp Brighton, with the aim of increasing the diversity in our community. We truly want to create an event that anyone with an interest in WordPress can attend and get a lot out of.
We believe everyone should feel welcome to join in the WordPress fun and have access to the many opportunities this community provides.
WordCamps are one such opportunity. Organised entirely by volunteers, they’re a chance for the community to get together, learn, exchange knowledge and celebrate WordPress.
Tickets for under-represented groups
With this in mind, we’re giving away 10 WordCamp Brighton tickets to people from groups under-represented at WordCamps.
Under-represented groups include, but are not limited to, women, individuals with a disability, Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) people and LGBTQIA+ people.

On top of adding an extra day to WordCamp Brighton this year, we’re adding workshops to the agenda. Woohoo!
We’re very excited to announce the three workshops which will take place on the first day of WordCamp Brighton. Check out the workshop schedule here.
Here’s a little more information about what to expect.
Volunteer at WordCamp Brighton 2017
We’re back for our second year and would love for you to join us in making WordCamp Brighton 2017 even bigger and better. We need friendly people to form an awesome volunteering team to help make the event run like clockwork.
Organising WordCamp in the open: how you can get involved
As we edge closer to announcing the schedule, it’s the perfect time to remind everyone that we welcome your feedback, ideas and participation.
We’re organising as much of this event as possible in the open, so the best place to suggest ideas is on Slack. You can also send us your ideas via the website or via email (brighton@wordcamp.org).
If you haven’t already, you can join the UK WP Community Slack by following this link.
We’re organising in the public channel #wordcamp-brighton. I hope to catch up with you there!

Applying to speak: frequently asked questions
Public speaking can be one of the scariest things many of us experience in our careers. But it doesn’t need to be.

If there’s anything you feel we’ve missed or something you think is worth adding, please leave us a comment below.
