We\u2019ve just dropped the last number into the spreadsheet for the 2013 WordCamp San Francisco budget and wanted to share it with you: take a look at what goes in to making WordCamp San Francisco happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Transparency in WordCamp planning and fundraising is helpful no matter the size of your WordCamp, and doubly so when you\u2019re planning the Uber WordCamp \u2014 aside from being the first WordCamp there was and the official annual WordCamp conference, WordCamp San Francisco features Matt\u2019s State of the Word address and just happens to be in the (really expensive) tech capital of the world. We want to be model WordCamp citizens and use an organizing process we\u2019d be proud for any other WordCamp to follow.<\/p>\n

Sponsorship options for WordCamp San Francisco are a bit different than those for most other WordCamps; if you\u2019re wondering why, take a look at the budget<\/a>. It\u2019s all in the name of giving you the most awesome WordCamp experience possible while still keeping tickets priced at the WordCamp standard $20\/day.<\/p>\n

If you take a look at the breakdown, you\u2019ll see that renting a large enough venue for 800+ WordPress fans with good public transportation options is over $30,000. Throw in costs for the A\/V , food, and swag that keep 800 attendees and 500 live stream participants engaged and happy, and it\u2019s not surprising that the WordCamp San Francisco budget looks a little different than most other cities\u2019.<\/p>\n

That being said, we\u2019d love to bring the budget down! If you\u2019ve got ideas for ways to reel in the numbers \u2014 a low-cost or donated venue, a friend who has a t-shirt printing factory, whatever \u2014 let us know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
