Frugal, budget-minded college and university students take heed. The $195 price for a student pass to TechCrunch Disrupt goes up this Friday, July 29 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Disrupt rolls out in person on October 18–20 — with an online day October 21 — in San Francisco. The OG of tech conferences offers plenty of opportunities for students determined to make their mark in the startup world.

Here are just a few of the many great reasons you should go Disrupt.

Learn the best way to build from experts in all phases of the startup life cycle — from ideation and testing to funding and scaling. Connect with product and UX/UI operators who know how to turn an idea into a prototype and eventual MVP.

Start networking weeks before the show begins with the Disrupt event app. It searches the attendees list for the people who align with your goals (based on info you provide when you register). It’s a quick, efficient way to schedule meetings, pitch investors or find the perfect co-founder or post-grad gig.

Disrupt is where founders go to grow. Check out some of the founder-focused sessions happening at TechCrunch Disrupt.

Three ways to earn a free pass to Disrupt

Enter the student pitch competition 

The TechCrunch Student Pitch Competition (powered by Blackstone LaunchPad) is industry-agnostic, and we encourage students building in any vertical to apply. While we’re excited to review the applications from students with a functioning MVP, the ultimate winners will be a mix of student-led startups at the ideation stage, with product/market fit, and those at the growth stage.

Applying to the competition is a simple, three-step process:

  1. Record a 60-second video of your pitch.
  2. Fill out an application and answer a few quick questions about your startup.
  3. Submit your application and video.

The application deadline is September 9. TechCrunch will review all submitted videos and select 20 finalists. We will notify the finalists on September 18.  Note: This is a video-only competition. No one pitches at Disrupt.

Volunteer 

Take advantage of a fun, easy way to attend Disrupt for free: Apply to volunteer for work exchange. Trade up to 10 hours of your time, and we’ll give you a free General Admission pass good for all three days of Disrupt.
