TechCrunch says a $12,500 package includes a branded table, 10 passes, lead capture tools, press-list access and sponsor branding, with tables available until sold out or 25 September.
The pitch highlights 250-plus sessions, 300-plus showcasing startups and 20,000-plus curated meetings, while also offering a buy-one-get-second-half-price pass deal before 8 May.
