Sponsorship Tiers and Benefits
Sponsorship at WCEH 2025 offers you an opportunity to connect with the WordPress community in a meaningful way. Our sponsors gain exposure to a highly engaged audience of developers, agencies, and businesses, allowing them to build brand recognition and establish valuable relationships. The following guide outlines the sponsorship tiers available, the benefits each tier provides, and key strategies for securing sponsorship commitments.
While sponsorship is first and foremost about contributing in a meaningful way to support the WordPress community, we also want sponsors to maximize the impact of their investment. WCEH offers multiple sponsorship levels with a variety of exposure and interaction options.

Sponsorship Benefits and Engagement Opportunities
Circles (Networking Events)
At scheduled times throughout the event, we will facilitate sponsor-led networking circles where attendees can engage in targeted discussions. These circles allow sponsors to connect directly with their ideal customer segments. This opportunity is exclusive to Confederation and Northern Lights sponsors, with a total of six slots available over two days.
Content Marketing Opportunities
Sponsors receive brand exposure through blog posts and social media mentions. Higher-tier sponsors receive individual recognition, while lower-tier sponsors are grouped together in promotional materials. This ensures fair visibility for all sponsors while giving premium sponsors a higher level of exposure.
On-Site Branding and Visibility
All sponsors receive brand exposure through slide decks displayed between sessions, swag bag inserts, and on-stage acknowledgments. Sponsors at the Laurentian tier ($1,000 CAD) can also claim exclusive branding opportunities such as coffee carts, meal sponsorships, snack stations, and after-party branding. These branded opportunities are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Activity Sponsorship (Evening Dinners)
To foster high-value networking opportunities, we are coordinating intimate dinners at restaurants across the city. These dinners are capped at 30 people and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. As organizers, we handle the logistics, while sponsors cover the cost of drinks (with the option to cover more). This exclusive opportunity is available to Global, Confederation, and Northern Lights sponsors.
Booth and Exhibit Space
For companies wanting a physical presence at the event, we offer dedicated and shared booth spaces:
- Exclusive Booth/Table: Confederation and Northern Lights sponsors receive a dedicated 6’ table in the sponsor area. Confederation sponsors also receive an end-cap placement, providing additional space.
- Shared/Scheduled Booth/Table: Great Lakes and Maple Leaf sponsors can choose between sharing a booth with another sponsor or having a scheduled time slot at a designated table.
