Sponsorship Guidelines
A few things you should be aware of when sponsoring the Asheville 2015 WordCamp:
This is an all-volunteer, non-profit community event and our relationship with sponsors is one of partnership and mutual interest/respect. We will work with you to find creative ways to match your needs with ours to benefit both our attendees and your brand.
If your brand represents a software product, it must be GPL friendly.
Sponsors may apply but will not be guaranteed speaking spots. Remember, all presentations must be related to WordPress to be included in WordCamp. (Seems obvious, huh?)
Funds must be received before sponsorship will be announced to the public; and any excess sponsorship proceeds will be donated to the non-profit WordCamp Central Foundation for future funding of WordCamps.
All sponsors will be recognized on our WordCamp website and social media. The Silver, Gold and Platinum Sponsors will also have their logos on programs and any between-session slideshows.
The larger your donation, the more recognition and acknowledgement you’ll receive on our website, social media and emails to attendees. It is also possible that you may have a space at a sponsors table and/or your “stuff” added to the “swag table” (subject to approval). However, please be aware that this is not a direct sales opportunity that you are purchasing – it’s a donation to our community efforts for which we are all very grateful!
