Sponsoring WordCamp DC is a unique opportunity to put your brand in front of a large, diverse local WordPress community in the nation’s capital.
The first edition of our DC conference was one of the biggest-ever inaugural WordCamps, selling out with over 500 attendees from around the country. We expect a similar, if not larger, audience in 2020.
Washington D.C. is not only the vibrant center of commerce for the U.S.’s 6th-largest metro area, but it is also the headquarters of many national organizations — nonprofits, media outlets, government agencies, advocates, major universities, marketing firms, and more. Whatever your product, you are likely to find customers and influencers at WordCamp.
WordCamp DC sponsors are key supporters of the WordPress project, and gain rapid recognition in our community for their generosity. The exhibition area is always a center of activity at WordCamp, not an afterthought.
Please review our package options, and fill out the form below to get in touch if you’re interested. Not sure about what level to choose or have other questions? Don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to discuss. And thank you for your consideration.
