The Next Web Conference: Help a Start-up!


The Next Web Conference: Help a Start-up!

We love to have a lot of start-ups attending The Next Web Conference. Not only on stage but also in the audience and in the hallways talking to investors, customers, potential partners and the press. We actively try to connect these different parties and are very proud that a lot of deals are done at our events.

The Problem

We also understand that start-ups generally don’t have huge budgets and that the price for a ticket can be something of a problem. We also think that 3 days, surrounded by the creme de la creme of the internet world, with top content, food, drinks and parties is priceless and well worth the price we charge.

Still we are always trying to come up with ways to cover our costs AND make it more attractive for start-ups to attend. Today we are announcing a new way for start-ups to promote their business and get into the conference considerably cheaper (at 50% discount).

The Solution

If you have a start-up and want to attend The Next Web Conference 2009 leave a comment with your company name, url and company description in less than 280 characters (2 tweets). If we agree that you are a start-up we will add your name to this post and add your startup to the dropdown menu in the registration form. If somebody buys a ticket and decides to support your startup, we’ll send you a special link to claim your 50% discounted conference pass.

Help a Start-up!

If you were considering buying a ticket do everyone a favor and check out the start-ups listed below. Pick one and select them when you buy yourself a pass. Make a Startup happy!
