Call for Sponsors

Our Call for Sponsors is now closed. Thank you for your interest!

On November 3, 2018, WordCamp Portland will be back at Lewis & Clark College for a second year! This is a great opportunity for local businesses to support the WordPress community with a sponsorship that helps us produce WordCamp Portland 2018.

After all, 31% of all websites in the world are run with the WordPress content management system. That’s probably many of your customers and may even include you!

Your Support Helps Many WordPress Users

What is a WordCamp? A WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are affordable opportunities for everyone from casual WordPress users to core developers to come together and participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.

Your sponsorship directly impacts our/your WordPress development and support community – making it the biggest, most robust and enthusiastic web resource on the planet.
