Have you been wondering what the heck a Community Sponsorship is when you go to purchase your WordCamp Seattle ticket (and why on earth would anyone pay $250 when they can get their ticket for just $40)?
As you may know, our sponsors are what really make WordCamp possible and allow us to put on this incredible, professional-grade conference for just $20/day.
In years past, we’ve had a lot of smaller companies and solo shops also express an interest in helping to sponsor WordCamp and participate in a more meaningful way, but the $1000 Bronze Level may have been a bit too steep for them.
So this year, we wanted to offer a way to let those folks give back and participate as a sponsor even though they might not have the deep pockets.
Listen below as the veritable Bob Dunn and our astonishing WordCamp Sponsor Wrangler, Eric Amundson discuss Community Sponsorship opportunities at WordCamp Seattle 2017.
At just $250, Community Sponsorships are an extremely affordable way to attend WordCamp, contribute back to the WordPress community, and improve your WordPress Karma.

Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, I attended my first WordCamp four years ago without needing to think too hard about the cost of attending.
This will be my first year presenting at WordCamp, and my presentation will mention one of those sponsors and their investments in the WordPress community. That’s WordPress Karma.
Thank you, Steve!
Personally, appreciate your commitment to the community. I attended my first one as a volunteer last year, was in Portland to support them and help with their social media, speaking in Vegas in a couple of weeks on short notice (at covering my own travel expenses) and part of the organizing team for Seattle this year.
The community piece is important to me.
