The price of a Disrupt general admission jumps $1,000 tonight. Procrastination is a debilitating disease, but save some serious money and grab a ticket before the early bird special ends. It’s worth it.
This ticket grants the holder access to 3 days of fun in the New York sun along with the entire Disrupt conference, Startup Alley, and the epic after parties. Disrupt NY is the biggest tech conference on the East Coast. Don’t miss out.
Sponsorship packages and spots in Startup Alley are still available, but are quickly running out. We’re also looking for hardware companies to display their wares in Hardware Alley.
The conference kicks off on May 5 and runs through the 7th. Like last year, the show will be held in the Manhattan Center, a historic New York venue conveniently located close to plenty of mass transit.
