Free tickets to Hero Conf
We’re proud to offer thousands of complimentary single-day tickets each year to help more people experience our conferences.
Each free ticket provides access to one full day of the event. When applying, you can either request a specific date or simply let us choose one for you. Because session topics are thoughtfully distributed across both days, you can select the date that best fits your schedule, without worrying about missing a particular theme.

How we distribute free tickets
When we started out in the UK, demand for free tickets to our events kept crashing ticketing platforms then selling out in minutes which was all a tad too frantic for us and the internet. So we introduced an application system for free tickets.
Instead of all that drama we now open a free ticket application form for a 48 hour period before each conference. If you’d like a free ticket you just enter your details during the application period and then we randomly select people who will be offered free tickets.
Not everyone who enters gets a free ticket so if you want to ensure you get a ticket you can buy one.
You also can’t have more than one free ticket so if you want to attend both days of the conference you’ll need to buy a ticket.
