Before You Register

How much does it cost?

Pricing is available on the purchase page.

What is the difference between GA and VIP tickets?

Our team is still working on finalizing all the benefits of VIP tickets, many of which will not be known until closer to the conference. Some of the benefits from past years include designated seating in the panel and Competitive Advantage rooms, special meet and greets with keynote speakers, gift bags with additional items, access to a fireside chat with Daryl Morey & Jessica Gelman and other sports executives, and the potential for increased access to the interactive events. Please note, that these benefits are subject to change until the conference has been finalized. General admission will not include the above benefits.

Full details available on the purchase page.

Is there a student discount?

We only offer a limited number of Student tickets each year – to be eligible for the Student discount, the ticket holder must be a fully enrolled student at the time of the conference. Once Student tickets are sold out the most certain way of ensuring attendance the conference is to purchase a General Admission ticket, which would grant you access to all the resources and events covered by a Student ticket.
