Four days left to save $100 on passes to TC Sessions: SaaS 2021

Comment

Tick-tock, folks! Our TC Sessions: SaaS 2021 countdown clock says only four days remain before the early bird flies away with $100 clutched in its tight little beak.

If you want to take part in our global SaaS conference on October 27 — and save $100 while you’re at it — purchase your early-bird pass before the deal expires on October 1 at 11:59 pm (PT).

Helpful reminder: We also offer $35 passes for students and group discounts when you buy four or more passes.

You’ll hear from and engage with the top leaders in SaaS, including iconic founders who have scaled to unicorn status, investors eager to share what they look for when choosing startups to add to their portfolios and security savants charged with keeping platforms and data safe in an increasingly threat-prone world. Explore the TC Sessions: SaaS agenda to see what’s in store — we’re still adding more great programming over the next few weeks.

Let’s talk about the other major benefit of attending a TC Sessions conference: networking. This is a global event, and thousands of people shaping the current and future path of SaaS will be in the house looking to connect, collaborate and well, check out the competition, too.

Take advantage of CrunchMatch, our souped-up, AI-powered networking platform. It will help you search for, find and schedule meetings with people you want to meet. You know, the folks who actually align with your business goals. CrunchMatch efficiently eliminates the needle-in-a-haystack of old-school networking. Simply fill out a few questions when you register, and you’ll be ready to roll.

About a week before TC Sessions: SaaS starts, you’ll receive access to the attendees list which, by the way, also includes media outlets. Jumpstart your networking and use CrunchMatch to send out invitations and line up RSVPs in advance.

Does CrunchMatch really help you connect in a meaningful way? Here’s what Jessica McLean, director of marketing and communications at Infinite-Compute, told us about her experience using CrunchMatch at TC Disrupt 2020.

“The CrunchMatch platform made networking easy. We sent quick introductions, scheduled meetings with investors and other smart people who could add value to our company. A person we connected with at Disrupt is currently helping us with marketing, which is fantastic.”

TC Sessions: SaaS 2021 takes place on October 27, and you have four days left to get amongst it for the best price. Buy your pass to TC Sessions: SaaS — and snatch that $100 out of the early bird’s beak — before October 1 at 11:59 pm (PT).
