Introducing the Mount Bierstadt micro-sponsorship

By popular demand, we’re pleased to introduce a new Mount Bierstadt sponsorship level, which is a $250 micro-sponsorship intended for freelancers, tiny companies, or WordPress fans who wish to give a little more than the cost of general admission to help make WordCamp Denver awesome.

The Mount Bierstadt sponsorship includes a ticket to WordCamp Denver, and we’ll publish your name or company name on our supporters list on the website.

Micro-sponsorships can be purchased via from the sponsor page. If you’ve already bought a ticket and would like to upgrade to a micro-sponsorship, get in touch and we can help make that happen.

Profound reach and value

If you’re interested in reaching WordCamp Denver attendees at a more profound level, there’s still time to get involved and become a sponsor. If you’re interested in a more custom partnership than the traditional sponsorship levels, let’s talk.

Given Denver’s location in the Rocky Mountain region, we annually attract attendees from the local areas of Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, The Front Range, and Grand Junction as well as from Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

And after a tremendously successful WordCamp in 2015, we continue to grow in size and reach year after year, anticipating 350+ attendees this November. We can help you reach your core demographics and drive exposure to your business, all while supporting the WordPress community we all love.

Why wait? Get involved!

Help us welcome our first group of speakers and sessions

We’re very excited to announce that speaker selection is complete and we’d like to introduce you to our first group of speakers! If you’ve been holding off buying tickets until speakers were announced, wait no more.

In addition to standard conference talks, we’re debuting a new track type this year known simply as the “town hall” track. That’s right, we’re going to have an entire track dedicated to providing topical Q&A, each hosted by experts in their field. So far we’ve lined up six, 50-minute town hall sessions for the schedule, two of which we’ve outlined below. Keep an eye out for the other four in future posts!

Speaking of the schedule … it’s coming. We promise! We’re ironing out some details with our remaining speakers and anticipate publishing a full weekend schedule very soon. So without further adieu, let’s meet our first 10 speakers.

In case you missed it: tickets, speakers, volunteers, and sponsors

Planning for WordCamp Denver is in full swing as we head toward November and we wanted to recap some news posted in the last few weeks, just in case you missed it.

Call for Speakers (apply now)

On August 5th, Patrick posted the call for speakers. Speakers drive the content and narrative of WordCamps, and in Denver, we like speakers who have stories to tell and/or learning moments to share, no matter how much experience you have.

Explaining how you learned something can help others learn too! So if you’ve learned anything new recently, we’d love to hear from you.

The deadline for speaker applications has been extended by one week to Friday, September 23rd. Apply today.

Call for Volunteers (get in touch)

On August 10th, Amber posted the call for volunteers. Volunteers are the grease in the wheels that keep WordCamps rolling.

Whether they’re organizing, speaking, hosting rooms, running video equipment, helping people register, answering questions at the community help lounge, and more, volunteers an integral part of making WordCamp Denver a success year after year.

We’re still looking for volunteers, so if you’re interested in helping us out, get in touch.

Call for Sponsors (find out more)

On August 14th, Corrinda posted the call for sponsors. Sponsors allow WordCamps to be successful in providing awesome venues for learning, discussion, and socializing throughout the weekend. Sponsors are also the primary driver for keeping ticket prices low while getting awesome exposure to key demographics.

Call for Attendees (get your tickets)

Call for Attendees (ticket sales are open!)

Because speaker applications are still open, we don’t have a schedule yet. Not to worry though, we’re guaranteed to have a solid list of speakers and talks to get attendees of all levels excited about WordPress.
