Sponsors

Vortex Solution, the makers of Findstr and Byscuit, is one of our Northern Lights Sponsors this year. We’re incredibly grateful for their support again this year!

From Rose, Guy, and the whole team at Vortex:

We’re proud to support the Canadian and global WordPress community from right here in Montreal.

This year, we’re introducing two powerful, Canadian-built tools that make the web faster, smarter, and more transparent: Findstr and Byscuit.

Findstr is a lightning-fast WordPress search plugin that delivers real-time results in under 100 milliseconds. Designed for simplicity and performance, it transforms the way visitors explore your website. Whether you manage a blog, a store, or a corporate site, Findstr ensures every search feels instant and intuitive. Built on Meilisearch’s open API, it provides a lightweight, customizable experience with advanced features like autocomplete, search suggestions, and automatic indexing — all accessible through a clean and user-friendly interface.

Each update brings new improvements focused on accessibility, speed, and stability. By isolating search results from the WordPress database, Findstr achieves greater reliability and responsiveness while keeping your data secure on servers hosted in Canada. Compatible with WordPress 6.2+, PHP 7.4+, and major tools like WooCommerce, Gutenberg, and WPML, it’s a flexible solution built for modern websites.

Byscuit, on the other hand, simplifies cookie consent management with a privacy-first approach. Fully compliant with Loi 25, GDPR, and other major privacy regulations, it allows website owners to manage user consent with ease and transparency. The platform is bilingual, fully customizable, and supported by a local Canadian team that understands the regulatory landscape. It also integrates with popular analytics tools like Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics, ensuring businesses can remain data-driven while staying compliant. With data stored entirely in Canada, Byscuit gives website owners peace of mind — offering compliance without compromise.

Together, Findstr and Byscuit reflect the spirit of innovation driving the Canadian tech community. Both are designed to help businesses, agencies, and developers build websites that are faster, smarter, and more ethical. Whether it’s improving how users search or ensuring privacy is respected, these two tools share one mission: creating better digital experiences, proudly made in Canada. 🇨🇦

Weglot, Simplifying Website Translation Through AI – Represented by Emma42

Weglot is proud to be part of WordCamp Canada 2025, represented by our long-time partner and ambassador Emma42, marking the third time they’re representing us at a WordCamp event.

As a long time WordCamp Sponsor, Weglot has proudly supported WordPress for several years, and for good reason: WordPress is where our story began. It remains one of the strongest communities we serve and the foundation of many of our customers’ success stories. We’re deeply committed to giving back to the ecosystem that helped us grow, and we truly value the openness, creativity, and collaboration that define the WordPress community.

At Weglot, we’re on a mission to make website translation faster, smarter, and more intuitive. Our new AI-driven approach transforms how businesses manage multilingual content, putting translation quality and control on autopilot.

The goal is simple: to simplify the user experience, give teams greater control, and significantly improve translation quality with minimal human input. Concretely, this means a more intuitive interface, precise control over publication, and a system that automatically adapts to the user’s context, brand, and tone of voice.
