#4636: Remove global sponsor details from flagship event sites

 Currently, all WordCamp sites explicitly thank all of the global sponsors
 on the ticket page after purchase, as well as in the footer of all ticket
 purchase emails.

 According to [our global sponsorship
 program](https://make.wordpress.org/community/2019-wordpress-global-
 community-sponsorship-program/), however, the global sponsorship funds do
 not apply to flagship events, but the thank you text is displayed for them
 too.

 We should remove the global sponsor text from events that don't make use
 of global sponsor funds - currently, that includes WordCamp Europe, US and
 Asia and they all have their "Multi-Event Sponsor Region" setting set to
 "Excluded". It should be relatively straightforward to choose not to show
 the global sponsor thanks based on that field.

 I don't currently have a local dev environment setup, but it looks like we
 should be able to do that in the `camptix-tweaks.php` file here:
 https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordcamp.org/public_html
 /wp-content/mu-plugins/camptix-tweaks/camptix-tweaks.php#L907

 I think this should do the trick:

 {{{
 if( 436028 == $region_id ) {
   break;
 }
 }}}


 (`436028` is the ID for the 'Excluded' region).

 Am I perhaps underestimating the amount of work here?

 This change would do a lot to remove the confusion that these messages
 create for attendees.
