Introducing Community Microsponsor tickets for WordCamp Minneapolis

We hear from many people who want to help support WordPress and WordCamps, but that traditional sponsor levels don’t really fit what they are looking for. Often, these are individuals or small businesses that use WordPress and want to help out. We hear you, which is why we are pleased to be offering Microsponsor tickets this year!
A microsponsor ticket gets you general admission to the weekend conference (Saturday and Sunday) plus a shoutout on our sponsor page thanking you for your extra contribution! As you know, we work really hard to put on a quality event at such a low, accessible price, so we appreciate everyone in the community that wants to give a little extra!
WordCamp Supports Women In Technology

In addition to being involved with WordCamps, I am very passionate about empowering women to get involved with code and technology, which is why I also volunteer and mentor for Girl Develop It Minneapolis. Recently, in addition to standard classes, Girl Develop It Minneapolis has started to offer an entire Front-End Developer series. A cohort of women take all the classes together, participate in extra study sessions and meetups, and get real hands-on learning about modern web development workflows. It’s a joy to be a part of, and something I want to support beyond just mentorship.
Your microsponsor ticket will not only help us put on a successful WordCamp, but helps offset the cost of special discount tickets we are offering to their winter Front-End Developer cohort to come join us for WordCamp and continue their web education!
