There are a few other ways to attend and save money, check these out to see if any will help your particular situation.
Exhibit-Only Pass – If you are primarily interested in the Unconferences this is a really good option. $200 gets you three-day access to the MAX Exhibit Hall (home of the Community lounge, all Unconferences, vendor booths, and BoFs), as well as entry to the keynotes and the Sponsors Welcome Reception on Monday evening.
One Day Pass – If you can’t be onsite the whole show but want to attend all the MAX activities for one full day (this includes all keynotes, sessions, meals, and parties happening that day), this is a good option. The standard price for a one-day pass is $595 but if you use this discount code: DAY941 you save $100.
There’s also the special student rate announced last week ($199 for a MAX pass if you have a valid student ID and use promo code STU691
