Just 24 hours until prices go up for Disrupt SF 2018 passes

Unknown August 01, 2018 TechCrunch

A lot can happen in 24 hours. Just ask Jack Bauer, the hard-charging protagonist from the TV drama series 24. Seriously, he had to save the world every dang episode. All you have to do is buy your pass to Disrupt San Francisco 2018 before the prices go up in — you guessed it — 24 hours.

We want you to join us on September 5-7 at Moscone Center West, and we want you to get the best deal possible. You have until midnight PST on August 1 before the price hike hits. Depending on the pass you buy, you could save up to $1,200. Jack Bauer would take action, and so should you. Buy your ticket right now.

What can you expect at Disrupt SF 2018? Plenty, and we’ll get to that in a minute. But sometimes it helps to hear what your peers found most beneficial. For example, Vlad Larin, one of the founders of Zeroqode, shared his Disrupt experience with us.

“TechCrunch Disrupt was a massively positive experience,” said Larin. “It gave us the chance to show our technology to the world and have meaningful conversations with investors, accelerators, incubators, solo founders and developers.”

If you’re more interested in a VC’s point of view, here’s what early-stage investor Michael Kocan of New York-based Trend Discovery had to say.

“Attending Disrupt San Francisco helped me plug into that community and take the pulse of what’s going on,” he said. “It’s probably the best place for us to meet the most early-stage founders quickly, so that’s the biggest benefit for us.”

There’s plenty of programming to keep you happy as you search for opportunity. Don’t miss an incredible roster of speakers talking about the most pressing tech and investment issues of the day. And take a peek at the conference agenda while you’re at it.
