Call for Sponsors

Sponsoring a WordCamp is an incredible way to contribute to the WordPress Community. By their very nature, WordCamps are designed to be as accessible as possible to anyone who wishes to attend, and a large way in which this is realised is by keeping ticket prices as low as possible. WordCamp sponsors play a huge part in keeping WordCamps as open as the software itself.

Apart from helping keep our ticket costs accessible to attendees, your sponsorship will also allow us to provide a substantially higher quality event than what we could with revenue from ticket sales alone.

Because of these reasons, WordCamp attendees, speakers, volunteers, and organisers are known for genuinely appreciating the contributions of sponsors, as it is through their help that many in the community can be part of the event. Sponsoring WordCamp Nagpur will give you a fantastic opportunity to engage with the greater WordPress community during the event.

Every year, our attendees include designers, developers, bloggers, small business owners, entrepreneurs, large enterprise executives, students, and educators from Nagpur and across the region.
