WordCamp US 2025 is just around the corner — from August 26–29, join us at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, where WordPress enthusiasts, developers, designers, and community leaders from across the globe will gather, and we’re thrilled to be there as proud sponsors.
Whether you’re a developer, agency owner, content creator, or product builder, WCUS is the place to learn, connect, and spark new ideas. This year’s event will bring dozens of talks, workshops, and panels over three inspiring days. And we’re bringing something extra special to the experience this time.
Kinsta on stage: Figuring Out Sponsored Contribution
In Figuring Out Sponsored Contribution, presented by Roger Williams, you’ll have the chance to explore how sponsored contribution works, why it matters, and how companies, big and small, can get involved.
He’ll walk through his experience working within Kinsta to sponsor contributors: from promoting the idea internally, identifying key areas of the WordPress project to support, finding and interviewing contributors, and building an internal framework for long-term sponsorship. You’ll hear real examples from contributors we support, and we’ll talk honestly about challenges like ROI, alignment, and accountability.
Whether you’re a founder, product leader, or agency owner, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to start supporting the people behind the platform your business relies on.
