WordCamp\u00a0wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our local, national, and international sponsors. Thank you!<\/p>\n
WordCamps are community-organized events put together by WordPress users. We are an educational event that relies on funding from businesses near and far who decide to participate as our sponsors. Without them, WordCamp OKC would never get off the ground. This will be our very first\u00a0 WordCamp and we need your help!<\/p>\n
