The Call for Media Partners closed on 16 February 2024
Since WordCamp Europe began in 2013, great media partners have collaborated with WordCamp Europe’s organising team every year to spread the word about the event all over the world.
Post Status, Torque, WPTavern, Ayuda WordPress, and many other WordPress web magazines, blogs, and podcasts have been previous Media Partners.
For WordCamp Europe 2024 in Torino, Italy, our objective is to identify a group of Media Partners who can deliver high-quality reporting that reaches all corners of the globally diverse WordPress Community. We are looking for a mix of partners – some who speak to a global audience, others who target specific regions (including our host country, Italy), and some who reach emerging or underrepresented parts of our community.
We invite you to apply for one of our Media Partner openings.
The Call for Media Partners is open to all tech-related media, including websites, blogs, magazines, podcasts, social media influencers, TV, and radio stations worldwide. This collaboration is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for your media platform to get exclusive insider access to the biggest WordPress event in the world, boost your brand visibility like never before, leverage our promotional channels to reach a wider public, and tell unique stories to your audience.
