We\u2019re expecting <strong>650+ attendees<\/strong>, and <strong>January 29 is Contributor Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Before Party<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>After Party<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price:<\/strong> NPR 100,000 each<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why a party and not just a booth?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People standing at a booth often feel like they\u2019re being sold to, and many quietly retreat. A commenter on the WP Tavern article about WordCamp sponsorship made the same point: attendees want to connect, not be pitched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parties flip that. Nobody is pitching. People are relaxed, a bit hungry, and quite happy to talk. That\u2019s when a founder tells you what\u2019s really wrong with their current plugin, or an agency owner asks whether you can handle their next big client. The official WordCamp organiser handbook sums it up: after-parties \u201chelp attendees make connections.\u201d Some first-time attendees even skip half the sessions for it, which we do not officially endorse but quietly understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons wcn-btn-primary is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/DQuB9GKFndo1qXNF8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Become a Sponsor<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What happens at the Before Party<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Before Party is the warm-up. It\u2019s the evening before the event, when people arrive in Nepalgunj, find their friends, and meet the faces behind the usernames they\u2019ve known for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A relaxed welcome.<\/strong> Name badges, easy introductions, and a lot of \u201cwait, you\u2019re <em>that<\/em> [Twitter or LinkedIn name]?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Food and drinks.<\/strong> Enough that nobody has to hunt for dinner after a long day of travel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speakers, organisers and volunteers meeting in a small, calm setting<\/strong> before the big day starts.

And right after the talks ended on conference day, we wrapped up the event with an unforgettable After Party for the whole crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turns out that some of the best conversations and biggest ideas happen over tea and snacks after the main event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Sponsoring the official networking party gave us direct, meaningful face-time with community leaders and tech talent in an informal setting.
