Nonprofits can profit from a discount to TechCrunch Disrupt 2023

This one goes out to all the nonprofit organizations. We see you, and we get it. Whether you're building tech or buying it, a nonprofit budget stretches only so far. That's why nonprofits (along with students, government and military employees) get a deep discount on passes to TechCrunch Disrupt on September 19-21 in San Francisco.

Buy your $195 pass today, because that ticket will cost more at the door.

There's always fine print: This discount is for verified nonprofit, government/military employees or students. When you check in on-site at the Disrupt registration desk, you must provide proof of your organization's 501(c) 3 designation, your government ID or your student ID. If you don't provide that info, you'll pay the full on-site ticket price of $1,200.

Okay, let's move to the good stuff. And there's plenty of it.
