Why support WordCamp San Antonio 2017?
WordCamps are run entirely by volunteers, and the only funds available are those from ticket sales and our community supporters. We strive to keep ticket prices low ($40 for a full weekend) to ensure accessibility to freelancers and small business owners with limited funds. However, that introduces a challenge when it comes to having a suitable venue, food for hundreds, technical capabilities, support services, and top-notch speakers. That’s where you come in.
Whether you have a venue to let us use for the meetup prior to the event, want to support lunch, can provide snacks and refreshments, can provide a service we are in need of, or have sponsor dollars not yet allocated, we can use and absolutely appreciate that help.
What’s In It For Me? (My Brand)
With all levels of support comes exposure for your brand to our attendees—last year’s WordCamp San Antonio had 350 attendees and, with addition of a full second day of events, we’re expecting many more attendees this year. The typical WordCamp attendee is between the ages of 25 and 45, makes $45,000–125,000 per year, and has a large following on social media channels like Twitter and Facebook. Bloggers make great brand ambassadors. Lucky for you they make up 90% of our attendee list! Make a great impression with our group, and they won’t be shy about painting you in a good light to their followers and friends. In addition to positive online press about your brand, you can also use your support as an opportunity to reach out in-person to your potential new customers or clients that are attending our event. World Series and Pennant Level Supporters are granted a table in the lobby area and are well-publicized throughout the event.

Supporter Requirements
Any event carrying the WordCamp name must follow some basic philosophical guidelines. WordCamps do not discriminate, and anyone is welcome to attend. WordPress is licensed under the General Public License v2, and without the GPL WordPress would not exist. People or companies in violation of the WordPress license cannot be accepted as event organizers or sponsors, as that would provide promotion to entities acting in opposition to the philosophy behind WordPress. Speakers need to be compliant with the license for the same reason — the exception to this rule would be if the non-compliant person is speaking as part of a discussion about the issues around GPL compliance.
Thank you from your team of volunteer organizers!
