Well to give you yet ANOTHER reason to attend, both of the sponsors of StartUp SF (Microsoft and GoGrid) are giving away some items at the event!

From GoGrid

Every startup is looking for ways to save money from the beginning. Buying IT infrastructure should not be one of those things that you spend money on. Using Cloud Infrastructure instead will eliminate your CapEx and help you spend just what you have to on your IT. If you are at this event and talk to a GoGrid representative, they will outfit you with a $100 Service Credit for a new GoGrid Account. With that credit, you can spin up a few GoGrid servers for a few weeks!

From Microsoft

First, there will be a raffle for some Microsoft Xbox Games. We will collect your contact info (Name, Address, email, etc.) and have a drawing on-site!

Second, Attendees who provide their business cards or contact information with: Full Name, Company Name, Physical and Email Addresses will receive a voucher* to purchase up to $120 in merchandise at the Microsoft eCompany store. This is a great opportunity to do some holiday shopping at Microsoft employee prices! For example, you can buy Windows 7 for the same price that a Microsoft Employee would get!

* The voucher is not a gift certificate.

Registration

Tickets are on sale now. $10 online and $20 at the door. You can register here or fill in the form below.
