We have closed our Call for Sponsors for WordCamp MSP 2020.

If you wish to donate to the WordPress Foundation, you can do so through this link: https://wordpressfoundation.org/donate/
During Our 2020 Event
Without the kind generosity of our sponsors, WordCamp Minneapolis / St. Paul would not exist. Please visit the virtual rooms for these sponsors while you are attending camp and say hello to them.
