Sponsorship Packages

WordCamps are casual, volunteer-run events. Our organizers, speakers, volunteers – they’re all volunteer. Sponsor support for WordCamp enables attendees to experience the event for a low cost; just $40! A low cost ensures accessibility to freelancers, small businesses and anyone who wants to attend.

Being a sponsor gives you an unique opportunity to invest in the Ohio WordPress community. The attendees are made up of web-savvy professionals who work in media, publishing, film, music, art, technology, education, health care, financial services, government… you name it. Letting members of our community know you support them will earn you their goodwill.

We have all benefited from using WordPress, now is the perfect time to give something back. We’ve created sponsorship levels to fit every budget from the multinational corporations to small local businesses to independent freelancers building WordPress themes for a living. Even if you are a small agency, restaurant, magazine, or an individual wanting to give back because you know that WordPress has helped you and your business, we have a support level for you.
