Since December last year we started a great initiative for sponsoring WordCamps (Orlando, Las Vegas, Miami, Phoenix, Slovakia, San Diego) but so far we didn’t have a chance to attend any of them. Luckily this is now going to change and our team is looking forward to personally attend WordCamp NYC and meet the WordPress fans there! We hope that by sponsoring this event we can contribute even more for the development of the great WordPress community. We promise some special giveaways for everyone attending too!

Do you want to speak at WordCamp NYC 2012?

One of the best parts of WordCamp is getting the whole community together. WordPress is unique because of the people who love it – and that includes you!

WordCamp is all about sharing knowledge and learning tons of cool new things we can do with WordPress. That’s where the speakers come in. Great speakers make a great WordCamp. New York has a vibrant WordPress community and we want to highlight your expertise! First and foremost, it’s about giving back – but speaking at WordCamp is also a great way to raise your profile.

WordCamp NYC will draw about 800 people at all levels of experience, all of whom are using WordPress in a different way. Whether you are a designer, developer, blogger, power user or new to WordPress, we are running an event that has something for everyone.

Topics can range from blogging tips to forum management, from “what is a plugin” to advanced plugin development. Perhaps you want to teach us how to find a good theme, reasons for using a child theme, tips on contributing to core, or something you’ve learned in your own experience that you just feel people need to know! At WordCamp NYC there will be presentations for all.

Do you love WordPress and want to share your knowledge with our community?

Call for Sponsors – How You Can Help

Are you excited about WordCamp NYC yet? We are.

Whether you are an individual WordPress Rock Star, a small business running your site on WordPress or a big business that makes a living from WordPress we all have one thing in common: We love WordPress!

We have all benefited from the contributions of the community to the WordPress core software, from the theme designers to the plugin developers. It would not be possible to put a price tag on these contributions, but you can help out and give.

How?

We are asking for your help and support. We have support levels that everyone can afford. If you can help out (even just a bit), head over to our Sponsor Information page to find a level that works for you.

So if you have benefited from WordPress (and who hasn’t?) please consider a sponsorship.
