No matter what you are doing or where you are heading, it all comes back around to relationships. From the beginning, marketing, sales, and businesses have been founded in the understanding that we need to be invested in creating lasting connections with people.

Although the technology has changed over the years, the basic understandings have remained solid. When you team up with WordCamp Birmingham through sponsorship of the conference, you create an opportunity for growing up the lasting connections that lead to a stronger community, a better business, and a broader future.

Community Goodwill
Strengthening your business image is one of the most valuable benefits of event sponsorship. Customers love brands that care about spreading positive messages and helping the community. Linking your business to a worthy cause can draw lasting support and media attention.

Community involvement also sets you apart from larger brands. People have more incentive to support your business if you’re invested in the local community. Find out what matters to customers, and pick causes that align with their values to boost loyalty.

WordCamp Birmingham is one of the oldest WordCamps in the Southern United States. Each year we work to reach out to more in the community and to do more for the community. Your involvement helps make that a reality.
