Put the tech spotlight on your brand
Founder Summit brings founders, investors, partners, and tech leaders to Boston. Side Events give you another way to connect with that community — before, during, and after the conference.
Host a meetup. Bring tech leaders together for a happy hour. Lead a panel or workshop. Create an experience your community will remember. The event is yours to plan.
An approved Side Event will:
- Reach the Founder Summit community and connect your audience with founders, investors, partners, and innovators from across the ecosystem.
- Extend your presence beyond the venue floor with an event during the broader Founder Summit week.
- Get additional visibility from TechCrunch through placement on the official Side Events page, agenda, mobile app, attendee emails, a TechCrunch article, and social channels.
- Give your community an added reason to attend Founder Summit with a ticket discount to share with your network.
Applying does not guarantee your event will be accepted or hosted as an official TechCrunch Founder Summit Side Event.
All applications are reviewed by the TechCrunch events team. Your event must be approved before it can be included in the official Side Events program. All logistics and costs will be your responsibility.
So, if you want the opportunity to expand your brand reach, apply now.
