Business of Software Conference USA 2017 Pricing

BoS Conference Pricing

Pricing conferences, like pricing software, is an art not a science. Like most conferences, we work using a series of price points over the course of the year so that the closer to the event, the more it costs to attend. The logic behind this is fairly simple – the earlier someone commits to attend, the less they pay. This gives guests a guarantee that they can attend, book flights accommodation etc. It also gives us visibility on attendee numbers so we can plan effectively.

We had a theory: Whenever we put the price of the ticket up, we get a rush of registrations, often in the final couple of hours before a price break hits. Using that logic, we decided to offer more, smaller, price breaks over the year giving people more chances to book before the price rose.

Result: Instead of significant rushes of ticket purchases, we had a steadier stream of registrations but there was not the same huge rush to register to catch a break. We also started getting inbound emails from people asking when the next price break would come and whether it would be $50 or $500? If it was $500 they would book today, if it was $50 they might wait till the  next one.

Conclusion: We were boiling a frog (not literally!). We want to incentivize the loyal attendees who register early but we also want to keep things as simple as possible for you.
