The question isn’t why would you want to be a WordCamp Nashville sponsor. The question is why wouldn’t you?
Dozens of agencies in Middle Tennessee use WordPress to build websites for clients large and small. Such companies benefit greatly from a free and open source software like WordPress, plus the vast support ecosystem that surround it, and WordCamp sponsorships are a great way to give back to project that’s helped build their business.

Benefits beyond good karma
Digital marketing, design and development agencies that use WordPress support WordCamps as a way to help grow an even stronger local community. Companies that sponsor WordCamp also get their brand in front of hundreds of attendees, including a ton of awesome developers, and prime exposure on this very website.
Technology companies have used other community-organized camps in Nashville as a way to recruit talent. We’ve even heard a few reports of local WordCamp sponsors getting new gigs or clients because of the extra visibility.
And don’t forget – additional sponsorship opportunities exist for the WordCamp Speaker Dinner and the after-party on Saturday, May 16. Hashtag beer.
