Howdy, y’all! This year WordCamp US 2018 will be hosted in Nashville, Tennessee, December 7-9. Now in its fourth year, WordCamp US is the premier North American WordCamp. Once again, this event will include two days of programmed sessions on Friday and Saturday, as well a full day contributor event on Sunday.
For our 2017 event in Nashville, Tennessee, we hosted about 1,700 attendees at the Music City Center, and almost 2,000 people around the world were watching on our live stream. We can’t wait to see how lives are going to change because of the impact our Sponsors allow us to have in 2018! We’ll be bringing WordPress education, inspiration, and fun to more people than ever. And that means a bigger global reach for our sponsors!
Simply put, without our generous sponsors, WordCamp US would not be affordable to the vast majority of the WordPress community. A $40 ticket provides three full days for attendees to gain insight from our speakers, network with others, and contribute to the open source WordPress project. By donating to WordCamp US you further the project’s mission to democratize publishing through Open Source, GPL software.

In addition to more traditional sponsorships, we offer a limited number of $500 Producer level micro-sponsorships that includes admission for one person. These micro-sponsorships are intended for freelancers, tiny but mighty companies, or WordPress fans who wish to give a little more than the cost of general admission to help support the event. You get everything you would from a General Admission ticket plus a sense of satisfaction in knowing that you’re giving extra financial support.
Plus, you’ll be listed by name in the micro-sponsors thank you section on the Sponsors page! You can purchase the individual sponsorship on the Tickets page (when opened) and bypass the application form.
When we reach our fundraising goal, we will close sponsorships, so don’t delay if you want to help make WordCamp US an unforgettable event!
