You can find more information about the venue here: https://europe.wordcamp.org/2025/location/venue/

The sponsors area will hold up to 73 booths, giving the suitable space for concentrating the key players of the WordPress community worldwide. The drawing below is the provisional layout; it’s not yet set in stone and subject to change. But we just want to give you a sense of the great space we have available!
