Hi,
I’m a student from NTU, minoring in Entrepreneurship, and would like to enquire whether your organisation offers special student rates or provides free student passes for the PSFK conference?

Hi Aviel,
Thanks for your interest. SGEntrepreneurs has managed to get our readers 20% off the ticket price, but we understand it’s still a hefty sum even with the discount. I’ll hook you up with Piers and let’s see if there are any student discounts. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Regards,
Gwen

Maybe we could ask Piers to put some tickets on ebay.sg starting at say $5, so guys who don’t work in corporateland stand a chance of being able to afford them?
Either that or get them to put some up at $1500+ … so the additional income subsidises students and the companies who buy them get a special mention on the day as ‘encouraging creativity for all, not just the wealthy’.
Just a thought …

Hi Gwen,
Just wondering if SGEntrepreneurs still provide the discounted code as the event is just days away. The pricey tag for a day long conference makes it hard for net-enthusiasts to partake.
Thanks!,
