Call for Sponsors

Sponsoring WordCamp DC is a unique opportunity to get your brand in front of a vibrant and diverse local WordPress community.

*Platinum + Gold Exhibit Hall Table Locations

At the gold level, you will be assigned one of the gold level tables in the main hall. At the Platinum level you get to pick one of our premium placements on a first-come, first-choice basis.

• There is one “upfront” exhibitor table, adjacent to a registration table, the most visible and central location in the house.
• There are two larger “lounge” areas in the corners of the room. Here, in addition to the standard exhibitor table, you can place a table and several comfortable chairs (bean bags, perhaps?) to encourage people to hang out in your lounge. You may either bring in your own furniture, or we can provide two conversational tables for your use. Please note that while the map above outlines the 17’7″x18’9″ area in the back corners, ample egress space needs to be reserved for people walking to adjacent rooms.
• There is one “WiFi sponsor” slot, which offers one gold-level table + your logo on every single WiFi-credentials sign throughout the venue. At a tech conference, as you might imagine, these signs get plenty of exposure.
