Sponsor WordCamp Toronto 2017 (#WCTO)

We’re bringing together 450+ WordPress developers, designers, users and business owners for another great weekend of WordPress in Toronto, Canada. Your support as a #WCTO sponsor helps cover the costs of running this non-profit event, and we make sure everyone recognises the support you provide.

Plus you earn some great karma giving back to the community and promoting WordPress; the open source software that has enriched all our lives. You also gain direct exposure to a diverse crowd of savvy users, designers, developers, consultants, and entrepreneurs – from the Toronto area and internationally.

There’s an extra bonus this year. Toronto is moving the conversation forward around Sponsor ROI. We believe WordPress is at a tipping point. We all know WordPress has enjoyed enormous success and currently runs 27% of websites around the world. And yet, we see WordPress as poised to enjoy its largest growth ever. We want you to be part of that conversation.

 

We have a lot in store for you in 2017 and beyond.

Show your interest in sponsoring #WCTO by filling in the Sponsor Form. Our organising team will be in touch. Thank you for your help and support.
