Today we are notifying about 35 people that they had qualified to attend TWTRCON through our Go Standby program. We have received incredible feedback on this program. It is designed for people who want to attend TWTRCON but may not have access to a traditional corporate training/travel budget. Applicants tell us what they can afford to pay and why they want to attend. The people we are accepting today include students, start-ups, non-profits and people with corporate jobs who are paying out of their own pocket to be part of TWTRCON because their budgets have been cut. The prices range from under $100 to over $300.
In their applications, these TWTRCON attendees expressed an incredible passion for social media and, in many cases, a sense that they would be able to change the world through the power of Twitter. We are honored to have this group join the conference.
We were not able to accept everyone who applied today. We are starting to get closer to our limit of 200 tickets, and there are still some speakers, sponsors and other attendees who have not yet registered, so we are trying to figure out how many seats we may still have left once we get that group signed up.
If we did not accept you today, or if you just found out about TWTRCON or our Go Standby program, you can still participate.
If you want to make sure that you have a seat, and you are able to afford the regular registration fee, register today.
If you would like to Go Standby, we are extending that program and will continue to accept applications until we have filled all our seats. If room is available, we will issue another set of tickets a week from today, on Tuesday 5/26.
Let us know if you have any questions or if there’s anything we can do to make this process work even better!
