As a sponsor, you’ll gain exposure to a unique, diverse crowd of technologically saavy developers and entrepreneurs. WordCamps are held regionally all across the world, but WordCamp Columbus was one of the first to offer a full-day dedicated to the basics of WordPress. As such, we continue to draw many beginners and intermediate users, as well as advanced developers from around Ohio and the surrounding states. We’ve got a great reputation among our attendees, and are interested in sponsors who can help us support our mission to connect the WordPress community in Ohio.

Who might be a great fit as a sponsor for WordCamp Columbus?

• if you run a WordPress or tech business and want to share your products to developers and users
• if your business uses WordPress for its own website or you’ve otherwise benefited from WordPress and want to give back
• if you have a service or product you’d like to get in front of a large number of freelancers, entrepreneurs and small businesses (say for example, you’re an accounting firm, financial planner, health insurance company, personal trainer).
• if you’re a tech recruiter or employer looking for developers – WordPress or otherwise – you’ll be sure to find them at WordCamp Columbus.

You might not know that WordCamp Columbus is a not-for-profit conference.

Our speakers come at their own expense and are not paid for presenting. Our organizers are not compensated in anyway, and the event is staffed entirely by volunteers. Money is NOT the driving factor behind WordCamp Columbus. Similar technology training conferences cost hundreds or even thousands while WordCamp Columbus cost less than dinner for two. How are we able to do this? Because of our generous sponsors.
