Sponsor WICUDA EU 2024
Paris, France · 3–4 August 2024. Four days. Over 200 Wimbum sons and daughters, drawn from more than ten countries across Europe, North America and Africa.
If your business serves the African diaspora in Europe, this is the most concentrated audience you will reach all year.
See the room
Four hundred people, one hall, full attention
This is the entrance procession at Almere 2026. Your banner hangs in this hall, your name is read from this stage, and your table sits where these people walk past for four days.
Team Germany enters the hall at the Almere 2026 convention, Toghu and Ndop regalia behind the German flag.
The audience
Who is in the room
The Wimbum Cultural and Development Association brings together the Wimbum people of Donga-Mantung Division, Northwest Region, Cameroon, now living across Europe and beyond. We have gathered every year since 2022.
Our members are nurses, engineers, lawyers, business owners, care workers, accountants and students. Most are working adults aged 30 to 65, and a significant share attend with their families.
Almere 2026, on record
203
attendees at the last convention
- Over ten countries represented, across Europe, North America and Africa
- Member count across European chapters — to confirm
- Share of returning attendees from previous conventions — to confirm
Germany 2027, the target
400
attendees targeted
We are building on Almere's growth, Germany's central location within Europe, and three active German chapters in Stuttgart, Wuppertal and Berlin drawing members within a few hours' travel.
Sponsorship packages are priced against our verified 2026 attendance, not the target.
Nearly all of our members send money to Cameroon regularly.
Most ship goods home at least once a year.
Many travel to Cameroon annually.
The case
What sponsorship gives you
Access that advertising cannot buy
Direct access, in person, to a community that is difficult to reach through general advertising and that makes purchasing decisions on trust and word of mouth. A recommendation inside this network travels further than any campaign.
Year-round visibility
Your name on wicuda.org, the permanent home of the association in Europe, for twelve months — not only for the four days of the convention.
Association with real work
You stand beside a body focused on cultural preservation in the diaspora and development work in Cameroon.
