TechCrunch offers $75 Disrupt pass to laid-off workers

The offer is restricted to the first 100 qualifying individuals or until the conference begins on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. Once the 100 passes are claimed, the promotion will end. The conference, scheduled for October 13-15 at San Francisco's Moscone West, is expected to draw over 10,000 founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders.

Attendees with the Expo+ Pass will gain access to the Expo Hall, where they can explore career opportunities, connect with over 300 exhibiting startups, and meet founders and tech leaders. The pass also includes entry to breakout sessions for practical insights and Q&A opportunities with industry experts. Additionally, attendees can utilize the TechCrunch Events app for AI-powered matchmaking to build their network and schedule 1:1 meetings, as well as participate in various side events throughout "Disrupt Week" (October 10-16).

The initiative is designed to help individuals who are between jobs to network critically, discover new career paths, and gain a closer look at the startup and tech ecosystem. While the Expo+ Pass provides access to the core of the conference, it does not include entry to industry stages and roundtable sessions, which are available with other ticket options.
