Update: The first batch of tickets has sold out. We will add more in the coming weeks.
TechCrunch is heading South for a Meet-Up in Austin, Texas with the team from Austin Ventures. We are landing in town on Thursday, September 25 just in time for the Austin City Limits music festival.
We’ll be holding a 500 person event on Thursday, similar in format to our other events around the world (see recent wrap up posts on Silicon Valley and Los Angeles events). As always, ticket proceeds will be donated to charity.
We have a handful of three day ACL passes to give away to sponsors and attendees, and will be announcing details of music festival give aways in the coming weeks. Register now to join us in Austin.
The TechCrunch Austin Ventures Meet-Up will be held at Pangaea, one of the hottest new venues in Austin. At Pangaea we will feature local start-ups and other sponsors, starting at 5:30 p.m. (central time) and running to 10:00 p.m.
We will also be holding a mini conference before the meetup – a roundtable discussion with Erick Schonfeld (details will be announced soon), just as we did at August Capital.
All of the proceeds from the TechCrunch Austin Ventures Meet-Up will benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation, an organization uniting people to fight cancer – believing that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything.
In addition to releasing tickets for the Austin Meet-Up, sponsorship opportunities and demo tables are now available for companies to show off their products. If you are interested in supporting the event, please contact Jeanne Logozzo or Heather Harde. If you are a member of the press wanting to cover the event, please contact Sarah Ross.
Attendee identification will be checked at the door. Tickets are not transferable and not refundable. If you use your name to purchase multiple tickets, your guests must arrive with you to check in at the door.
We look forward to seeing you in Austin!!
