Join Checkout Summit 2027 as a Sponsor
Join us in shaping the next Checkout Summit (when & where) — the only independent event 100% focused on WooCommerce, for WooCommerce professionals.
We’re expecting 150+ developers, product managers, and agencies for 2 days of talks, networking, and practical takeaways… and another 2 days of fun! Sponsoring means visibility with a qualified audience, brand positioning alongside top WooCommerce voices, and in-person connections with your target users.
- Targeted exposure: All attendees work with WooCommerce daily
- Face-to-face time: Booths, breaks, and shared meals with attendees
- Brand positioning: Get in front of merchants and builders looking for solutions
- Limited spots: We won’t overcrowd the event with sponsors — quality comes first
We have only 6 sponsorship slots at this event: 1 main sponsor and 5 partners. These packages include visibility of your brand at our website, emails, a booth at the event, a demo slot, and the option of running a side event.
Sponsorship Packages / Checkout Summit 2027
Sponsoring Checkout Summit is the best way to connect with WooCommerce professionals in person. As a sponsor, you’ll showcase your brand to a highly targeted audience, gain visibility through talks, tables, and side events, and build relationships that go far beyond the conference. With a mix of networking, learning, and exposure opportunities, sponsorship is designed to give you long-term value.
Not every sponsor needs a booth. Alongside our main packages, we offer a set of flexible add-ons that let you support Checkout Summit in different ways. Whether you’d like to host a side event / happy hour, contribute to the underrepresented attendee fund, or come on board as a microsponsor, these options can be booked together with a booth package—or independently.
