Here's how safety will work.

No exceptions, no negotiations:

- proof of vax mandatory
- temps @ the door
- artificially cap the # way under fire marshal max
- live stream either way. All attendees get access to the stream + recorded talks. Want to participate from 🏠? Cool.

"

One idea alone is a tactic, but if it can be executed on a number of different ways, it becomes a great strategy.

Marc benioff

Need a hotel?

For simplicity and proximity, we recommed Aloft Minneapolis. 2 blocks away from the conference.

If you're an enterprise SaaS startup then this will be the best room you'll be in all year.

#EntRising

Refunds

You can always cancel for a 100% refund up 48 hours before the event kicks off.  After that, no dice. Have someone attend in your place.

But tickets will sell out. So it makes sense to lock in yours now.

SURGE PRICING applies.

The longer you wait the more you pay. In the days leading up to the event you will pay more than everyone else.

So act now.
 

If you're an enterprise SaaS startup then this will be the best room you'll be in all year.

All startups.
All enterprise.

All tech.

Need a hotel room?

SpringHill Suites is walking distance and won't break the bank for founders.

We highly endorse.


Code of Conduct

The short version: if you're not sure you should say it or wear it then you shouldn't.

Everyone WILL feel 100% welcome here.

The real version of how to have a good time without it being at anyone else's expense here. If you're an attendee and you want to report someone who is acting inappropriately feel please text 612-217-2253 and we'll make quick work of the violator without involving you.

Get Tickets

Startup Founder or Employee
$291.00

Are you are an active founder or employee of a PRODUCT SaaS STARTUP (not a consulting or service or dev shop) SaaS and your startup has raised less than $10m? This is for you. If you want to buy MORE THAN 1 for your team then consider saving money by buying via the "Bundle O' Tickets" option instead of this one.

Corporate
$499.00

Are you are part of a company that is bigger than a startup? Have you raised at least $10m or does your company have revenue of at least $10m per year? This is for you. Break out the AMEX. Expense category "Education".

Community Leader
$299.00

Do you run a non-profit, run a Meetup, or run another event related to tech? Just want to come and see what all the hoopla is about? This is for you. Get ready to tweet out pics to your tribe. Or if you just don't fit neatly in any other ticket type, this is for you.

Investor
$299.00

You are an active, check writing investor.

Service Provider
$499.00

Are you are a startup lawyer, dev shop, marketing expert, headhunter, HR firm, or any other awesome pillar of the startup service ecosystem? This is for you. Since this is the cost of doing business for a professional like you we hope you understand that your ticket price is helping to subsidize the entrepreneurs in the room so that they can have more cash to hire you. Want a bunch of tickets and to be a celebrity at the same time? Contact us at the bottom of the page about sponsoring.

Startup Founder or Employee Bundle O' Tickets
$249.00

Are you are an active founder or employee of a PRODUCT (not a consulting or service) SaaS startup? And want to bring your cofounder or an employee? Get two+ tickets in one simple purchase for one bargain price. If two of you come you save $100. Three and you save $150. This is for you, team.

Lifetime Access Bracelet
$599.00

If you've been to Enterprise Rising before and you know for a fact that you'll double down on attending every single year on it then do yourself a favor. This bracelet will pay itself back in just 1 or 2 years. This bracelet will get you in every conference, every day, every year, every decade. + VIP events that most of the world doesn't hear about but you will get RSVPs to. If you work for a bigger company or firm or agency then this bracelet stays with you and gets you in throughout your entire career so you can continue to meet and be relevant to startups. No brainer. (And yes, if you lose it we'll hook you up with a replacement for free. And yes if you can't attend because you'll be out of town a colleague can go in your place.)

Back an Entrepreneur
$99.00

If there happens to be an entrepreneur that can't make it due to costs (and there are ALWAYS several) we'll apply your contribution towards their ticket.

Media
$0.00

If you're showing up because you want to tell the world, through your unique lens, what's happening, then this is for you. If you are NOT media and simply are choosing this because it's the *free ticket*, please save yourself the trouble. Your registration will be cancelled unless your email has a true media company name in it.
