Why Sponsor WCEH?

WCEH is Canada’s premier WordCamp event, one of only two national WordCamps worldwide. As we enter our second year, we’re building on the momentum of last year’s sold-out event, which hosted over 300 attendees from across the global WordPress ecosystem.

At WordCamp Canada, you can expect an engaging, high-value sponsorship experience at every level that goes beyond simple brand placement. As a sponsor, you’ll become an integral part of the attendee experience, forging meaningful connections with your target audience.

What sets WCEH apart is its national scale—a rarity in the WordCamp ecosystem. Most WordCamps are regional or city-based, making WCEH one of very few national WordCamps in the world.

Sponsoring WCEH is an opportunity to engage deeply with the WordPress community, showcase your brand in front of decision-makers, and create lasting, personal relationships with developers, agency leaders, and business owners who rely on WordPress.

WordCamps: A Brief History and Why They Matter

WordCamps have been a cornerstone of the WordPress community for nearly two decades. Regularly taking place in cities across the globe, these events create a collaborative space where developers, designers, marketers, and business owners come together to learn, share insights, and build connections. Unlike traditional tech conferences, WordCamps emphasize open-source values, accessibility, and grassroots community-building.

What sets WCEH apart is its national scale—a rarity in the WordCamp ecosystem. Most WordCamps are regional or city-based, making WCEH one of very few national WordCamps in the world. This distinction positions WCEH as a high-profile event, drawing attendees from across the country and beyond.

“But, wait a second. I don’t sell WordPress products!”

Terrific! This is a great time to get involved.

While WCEH is mostly about WordPress, it’s not just for developers and website builders. Marketers, content strategists, educators, and entrepreneurs also attend, and they, too, are eagerly looking for new tools, services, and technologies to support their businesses.

That opens the door for companies like yours, who largely live outside the WordPress space, to engage with a tech-savvy, business-oriented audience.

The WCEH Difference

Again, WCEH is a national WordCamp. That means it attracts a broad audience of professionals from across North America and beyond, giving you an unparalleled opportunity to reach WordPress users at scale. Here’s what you can expect:

• Curated Networking Experiences – Thoughtfully designed sponsorship activations that foster real engagement.
• Highly Engaged Attendees – Developers, agency owners, and business leaders who actively seek new solutions and partnerships.
• Strong ROI  – Targeted branding, lead generation, and face-to-face interactions that create tangible business outcomes.
