Call for Sponsors

So you’re interested in sponsoring WordCamp Denver 2020.

Nice! Your contributions make it possible for this event to stay accessible for attendees. WordCamp is not your typical industry conference, with ticket prices in the hundreds or thousands of dollars. In fact, this year, we’re offering free tickets for all attendees.

Getting involved with WordCamp can be a great way to find not only customers but potential business partners. Being a sponsor can help you to build strong relationships with other WordPress users and businesses. On that note, sponsoring WordCamp puts you in a position of trust with this community that’s hard to get otherwise.

What Makes WordCamp Denver Special

  • WordCamp Denver consistently brings in roughly 300 attendees each year and we anticipate more now that we’re pivoting to a live event for 2020.
  • WordCamp Denver plans programming to appeal to WordPress users who fit many different use cases: bloggers, businesses, developers, and complete beginners. There’s something for everyone.
  • The Denver startup community is strong and many local businesses rely on WordPress (and the businesses that support it) to keep things running.

Here’s what you’ll receive in exchange for your sponsorship at each level:

Coffee Captain: Two Day Coffee Sponsor ($2500)

1 Coffee Captain Sponsorship Available

Two days of learning and networking means that caffeinated beverages are necessary

To really make an impact, our Coffee Captain sponsorship is limited to one brand over the two days of WordCamp Denver. 

We’ll work with you to organize fulfilment, which will likely involve local Colorado attendees making a pickup at local coffee shops. In other words, you’ll have the opportunity to support local businesses!

You’ll also receive:

  • Ability to invite attendees to a sponsor Zoom room
  • Special thanks during at the event, and in pre- and post-event email
  • Opportunity to contribute a post on the WordCamp Denver blog OR record a video interview for the blog and WordCamp Denver social channels with Sponsor Wrangler Maddy Osman
