Not every first attempt hits the mark. At Tea Time #01 during WordCamp US 2025, we served 40+ cups of tea out of our 100-cup goal. That experience gave us both courage and lessons to dream bigger.
Now, with Tea Time #02, we’re stepping in with fresh energy — unofficially connected to WordCamp Islamabad: 100 cups, 100 stories, 100 connections.
We’re thrilled to share that WordCamp Islamabad 2025 will take place on October 18–19, 2025, in Pakistan’s capital city. And this time, WPKitchen is preparing to bring something even more special to the community.

☕ 100 Cups for the WordPress Community
- 🥇 The very first Tea Time winner spot has been graciously reserved for our chief guest, Matt Mullenweg — setting the tone for 100 cups, 100 stories, and 100 connections.
- 💸 Every cup includes a Rs. 250 prize for the winner.
- 📷 Winners share a tea photo → we feature it across our socials + website.
🌟 What’s New This Time?
We learned that being present at the event will transform the process. With a booth and a simple system, we can introduce Tea Time face-to-face, invite WordCamp attendees to select a non-attendee “winner” in just a minute or two, and complete the experience in hours rather than weeks. This means we could serve non-attendees up to 90% faster, while also sharing WPKitchen-branded tea directly with attendees.
On top of that, our presence will give sponsors visibility through brochures, displays, chefs uniforms, and conversations — ensuring their support is recognized in person. And, as a cultural touch, we’d love to bring a favorite food from Faisalabad to surprise attendees.
💡 Sponsorship Opportunities
We’re inviting a handful of community sponsors and supporters to join us. We’re also open to welcoming one exclusive partner who will co-own this campaign and take the lead as the driving force behind Tea Time at WordCamp Islamabad. Even if we receive less support, the project will simply scale to fit — but every contribution directly powers the experience.
🔹 Sponsorship starts at $50 — share tea with tea time participants (here)
🔹 Support starts at $750 — enable our presence at WordCamp Islamabad
🔹 Exclusive partner opportunity — co-own Tea Time #2 with us (email us)
Your contribution could cover one or more of the following:
✅ Our travel across Rawalpindi & Islamabad (WordCamp spans two cities)
✅ Hotel stay and team meals
✅ Event setup & logistics
✅ Tea for attendees + non-attendees
✅ Subsidized trips for some WordPress freelancers
✅ A dedicated photographer to tell the story (with your brand in the spotlight)
✅ A taste of Faisalabad’s unique food — something attendees in WordCamp Islamabad may have never tried before
Fun Expected: We’ll be presenting in chef uniforms with tall 9-inch caps, featuring sponsor badges proudly displayed on the uniforms for extra visibility.
If we’re able to raise additional funds, we’ll take it a step further by serving WPKitchen-branded lunches at the event.
