Disrupt SF is right around the corner and here’s another chance for you (or someone you know) to win a ticket! This is going to be one of the biggest technology conferences of the year and we have already announced some special guests and speakers including: Kevin Rose, Michael Arrington, Marissa Mayer, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, Jessica Alba, Marc Benioff, and many more. Be sure to check out all of the speakers we have announced so far. And stay tuned, because we have a lot more surprises to come.

For those of you unable to buy tickets to this year’s show — this is a great chance for you to try and get one for free. Not only are we giving away a free ticket to Disrupt SF to one lucky reader, but we also wanted to include a fun something extra.

We are going to throw in a brand new Nest Thermostat. We’ve written about it numerous times, but basically the Nest is a thermometer that learns from user behavior and eventually adjusts the home’s climate control based on previous activity. Our own Matt Burns believes the Nest is “a game changer”, as do others.

If you want a shot at winning the Nest (valued at $249) and a free ticket to Disrupt SF (valued at $1,995), all you have to do is follow the steps below.

1) Become a fan of our TechCrunch Facebook Page:

2) Then do one of the following:

The contest will start now and end August 5th at 7:30pm PT. Please only tweet or comment once, or you will be disqualified. We will make sure you follow the steps above and choose our winner once the giveaway is over. Please note the free Disrupt ticket is for one ticket only and does not include airfare or hotel.

Sept. 8th - 12th in San Francisco
