Industry Context
Technology conferences have seen fluctuating attendance numbers since the COVID-19 pandemic, with many organizers offering reduced pricing or bundled ticket deals to encourage in person attendance. The BOGO model is a common promotional strategy used by event organizers to increase attendance numbers and fill available capacity.
TechCrunch Disrupt competes with other major technology conferences such as CES, Web Summit, and SXSW for attendees and exhibitors. The event remains one of the more prominent startup focused technology conferences in the United States.
