Is the summit streamed/ available digitally?
We believe nothing can replace the value of in-person meetings and sitting behind a screen for hours on-end hinders creativity and focus. Taking place in the heart of San Francisco, we've made the decision to do away with virtual streaming. Get out from behind your desk and come away energised, with the connections and insights you need to take your project to the next level.
I'm a start-up. Are there special rates?
Start-ups are entitled to a special discount if you meet certain critera. Please get in contact with delegates@unboundsummits.com and share your number of employees, series of funding and company focus.
What is included in my ticket?
A full two-day, in-person summit pass. Listen to all live discussions and join the debate. Access to our networking app two weeks before and four weeks after the summit. Breakfast, lunch, networking break snacks, and coffee for both days. One hour of closing networking drinks on day 2.
What is your refund policy?
Up to 30 days before the event date you can cancel and request a refund, there will be a 15% cancellation fee. After this point, we unfortunately are unable to provide a refund. You can however transfer your pass to a colleague anytime.
Do you have an event app, and am I able to book 1-1 meetings?
Yes! Meetings and networking is at the core of our summits. As an attendee, you will receive information about how to join our event app two weeks before the summit. On there, you will be able to connect with other attendees and set up meetings onsite.
