Call for Sponsors

This year’s WordCamp US will be hosted in Phoenix, Arizona. WordCamp US is the premier North American event for web professionals. This event will include one Contributor Day, one Showcase Day (a day devoted to showcasing and exploring the most innovative uses of WordPress), and two days of informative sessions from some of the best presenters in the WordPress community.

Without our generous sponsors, WordCamp US would not be affordable to the vast majority of the WordPress community. A ticket provides four full days for attendees to gain insight from our speakers, network with others, and contribute to the WordPress open source project. By sponsoring WordCamp US, you further the project’s mission to democratize publishing through open source, GPL software.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please complete the form.

Please note that filling out this form does not guarantee a sponsorship. All sponsors must be 100% GPL Compliant. Sponsor selection is at the discretion of the Sponsorship team and we do give some measure of preference to our long-standing sponsors.
