The price on the day is $8.00 cash (NO ECOCASH) Please note – those who pay at the door are not guaranteed a tshirt. Tshirts are reserved for those who booked in advance first.

Swag alert!
WordCamp Central and our sponsors sent us these great items as swag! Gotta love our sponsors 🙂 Make sure you arrive at registration early on event day to get your share of the swag.
WordCamp Ticket Giveaway
We’re giving away 1 ticket to one lucky lady! One of our micro-sponsors, Alice Orrù (@Alice_Ridice), will not be able to attend. (get well soon, Alice!) So she asked us to donate her ticket to a female attendee. (“Let’s take girls to WordCamps!”)
We have a winner! Congratulations to Tariro Mageva! 🙂

Tickets now available!
The moment a lot of you have been asking about is here – tickets are now on sale for WordCamp Harare 2017!
We have two ticket options this year – the General Admission ticket, and a new Micro-sponsor ticket. The General Admission ticket is $6 and includes access to the full day of sessions, a t-shirt, cool swag, lunch and admission to the after party. Micro-sponsor tickets are $25 and include the same benefits as the General Admission ticket, as well as an extra thank-you mention on the Sponsor page for helping support your local WordPress community and a mention on Twitter. The Micro-sponsor ticket is a great way to show your support for the WordPress community but at a lower price than a traditional sponsorship.
We have a fantastic selection of speakers and the schedule has been published.
To get your tickets, just head over to the Tickets page. We can’t wait to see you at WordCamp Harare!
