A Big Thank-You to All Our WordCamp Sponsors
Over the past few days, WordCamp Philly has featured each of its Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsors whose generosity has made this event possible.
But they’re not our only sponsors. More than a dozen businesses and individuals have stepped up and contributed in the Bronze Sponsor, Business Microsponsor, Individual Sponsor and In-Kind Sponsor categories. You can see the entire list on our Sponsors page.
Regardless of the size of your contribution, all of us coordinating and attending WordCamp Philly 2017 appreciate your support.
Are You Ready!?
Woot! We’re so excited and Wapuu is too. We’re in the final count down and can hardly contain ourselves. Just a little while longer before we gather to hear fantastic speakers, meet new people, connect with old friends, and spread the love of WordPress.
If you haven’t already, make sure to check out the sessions and schedule. Make a plan for arrival and get to know the campus. Check out the Philly eats and to-do’s in case you get some down time. Learn a little about the speakers and take a look at the sponsors. We wouldn’t be able to pull off the awesomeness of WordCamp Philly without them and all of the wonderful volunteers.
We are looking forward to seeing all of you and If you want a chance to win a prize, be sure to wear a costume!
We’ll see you at Campus WordCamp Philly soon!
