Hello WordPress friends and blogging neighbors! I (Morgan Senkal) am thrilled to take over the fabulous work that Aaron Hockley has done with WordCamp here in Portland. My two goals for this event are:
I decided that the very first thing I needed to do was select a date. In keeping with goal #1, the date will be nearly the same as last year: September 18-19, 2010. And already, the fabulous people over at WebTrends have offered to host us again as well. WordCamp Portland is off to a great start!
I’ll have more details and information as things ramp up, so stay tuned. If you have any ideas or questions, feel free to contact me at my email address or on twitter, either at the wordcamp account (@wcpdx) or @morganpdx.
It’s getting about that time. Time to ramp up our efforts to secure sponsors for this years 2 day WordCamp Portland event! That’s right, not just one day but TWO days of pure WordPress magic. That means as a sponsor you actually get two days of love, thanks and appreciation from the 200-250+ attendees. In addition to the love and thanks we’ll properly link/logo you up on our site. We’ll also sing your praises on Twitter, Facebook and you may also swag us up during the event. After all, we do love swag.
I’m glad you asked. Sponsorship can happen a number of ways. Of course, we’re most happy with plain old $$$ sponsors. After all, events like this don’t come together on their own. Sponsorship of the cash variety starts at $250. Then it steps up to $500 and $1,000. (Please contact us for what each level includes) Maybe you’d like to sponsor a specific item? Want to cover the tab for the morning coffee? Perhaps the t-shirts are more your style? Maybe you’d like to host lunch one of the days? We would be happy to work this out with you. Perhaps you have a service that makes sense for this type of event and you’d like to do an in-kind sponsorship. Shoot me a call at 360.260.3253 or email me.
WordCamp Portland is happening on September 19th & 20th, 2009 at WebTrends and will be attended by a wide variety of WordPress users and the tech community in and around the Portland area. I’d imagine we’ll also draw in travelers from outside the area as well. Being a sponsor is a great way to get your name and brand in front of all these people. Don’t delay on becoming a sponsor. The earlier you make it happen the earlier we can begin to sing your praise! Please get in touch with me with any questions or to sign up to be a sponsor!
