How the free ticket process works

Free tickets are valid for one day only. When you apply for a free ticket you can specify which date you’d prefer or let us pick one at random. Content will be different on each day with topics spread across both days so you can pick based on your availability (not by topic theme).

Typically around 20% of the people who apply get a free ticket so if you want to ensure you get a ticket you can buy one of our training or Friend tickets.

To be amongst the first to hear about future free ticket giveaways subscribe to our mailing list.

Applications for free tickets for the UK edition in October 2025 is now closed but you can join the waiting list for unclaimed tickets.

All entrants will be notified soon whether they have been successful.

Please note that a ticket is not guaranteed. The only way to guarantee a place at the conference is to purchase a ticket.
