Sponsoring events in your community can be a great way to get your name out in front of a new group of people, as well as a great way to show your support.

Who should sponsor WordCamp Fayetteville?

• B2B services. Most attendees are businesspeople. They own websites. About half build websites. Many of those who don’t yet have a business plan to monetizeThey need business cards, coffee, design services, hosting, janitorial services, marketing services, consultants, accounting services, maybe a good caterer… The truth is, you never know who you might meet at WordCamp, because the thing attendees have in common is that they build or use WordPress websites. If you use a WordPress website, too, you’ve automatically got a bond.
• WordPress shops. Those of us who make our livings with WordPress get a chance to give back to the community when we sponsor WordCamp in our community. Also see above, because many attendees need the services of WordPress shops. Sponsoring gives you a chance to make friends and influence people.
• Companies looking for talent. WordCamp always includes lots of talented people, whether freelance workers or job hunters. WordCamp sponsorship helps you build awareness in the local tech community.
• People who support WordPress, STEM, open source, community education, and Northwest Arkansas. WordCamps are community educational events, put together by volunteers and paid for mostly by sponsors. This allows ticket prices to stay very affordable, so everyone can come and learn.

Will WordPress community members go to your coffee shop because you sponsored WordCamp? Yes.
