Sponsorship Levels >
As a WordCamp Dayton sponsor, you’ll gain exposure to a unique, diverse crowd of:
- Technologically savvy website designers
- Marketing experts
- Business leaders and entrepreneurs
WordCamps are held around the world and in 2016 will be held in Dayton as a two-day event packed with workshops, speakers who are among the nation’s best website developers, hands-on training for WordPress users of all skill levels and a terrific after-party where the learning and networking continue.
We will draw beginners and intermediate WordPress users, as well as advanced developers from around Ohio and the surrounding states. Attendees will be business owners, leaders of non-profit groups, artists, designers, developers, bloggers, agencies and businesses that sell website design and marketing services to other businesses.
We’ve got a great reputation among our attendees, and are interested in sponsors who can help us support our mission to connect the WordPress community in Ohio.

Our Sponsors
WordCamp Dayton is a not-for-profit conference. Our speakers come at their own expense and are not paid for presenting. Our organizers are not compensated in anyway, and the event is staffed entirely by volunteers.
Similar technology training conferences cost hundreds or even thousands while WordCamp Dayton costs attendees less than dinner for two. How are we able to do this? Because of our generous sponsors.
Thank you for making WordCamp Dayton happen March 4-5, 2016 at Wright State University.
