    GopherCon

     Sunday, July 7th - Wednesday, July 10th, 2024

    Marriott Marquis Chicago &

    McCormick Place Convention Center

    Can you believe it’s been one full decade since we gathered in Denver, Colorado for the very first GopherCon? When we started the conference in 2014, we were hoping for 350 attendees and ended up with close to 800. Let’s just say… chaos ensued, but it was the most magical mayhem!

    After five years in Denver, we decided to take our show on the road in 2019 and landed in San Diego for the first time. With three tracks of amazing talks, an unforgettable gathering on the deck of the USS Midway, and nearly 1,700 attendees, it was an awesome start to our “Road Show”. 

    As 2020 approached, we were anticipating close to 2,000 attendees in Orlando, Florida, but, as it usually does, the universe had other plans. The next few years were rough, to say the least. While going virtual felt like a brilliant solution in the beginning, I’m sure many of you share our sentiment that virtual gatherings went from “Genius!” to “Not again!?” real fast!

    In 2022, we were elated to see our community come together in Chicago for the first time after a two-year hiatus. While it was a smaller conference than what we had become accustomed to in the past, as organizers, we felt the magic of 2014 return!

    In retrospect, the past decade has certainly been a rollercoaster. There have been some exhilarating highs, as well as twists and turns that showed us just how supportive and resilient our community is. So, raise a glass of your favorite beverage Gophers. Cheers to coming along for the ride; we are grateful and excited to celebrate the 10th anniversary of GopherCon with all of you! 

    What Every Gopher Needs to Know

    Group Ticket Discounts

    The more gophers the merrier! We offer a 5% discount for groups of 5 - 9 attendees and a 10% discount for groups of 10+. 

    With this said, there are a few caveats to consider:

    • The group discount does not apply to anyone who has already registered. If you think your company would benefit from a group discount, check in with your teammates before purchasing a ticket. We will not refund a purchased ticket, then issue a promo code. 
    • Promo codes for groups are available for the purchase of Self-Paid, Corporate, or Late Gopher General Admission, as well as Pre-Conference Workshop tickets.
    • The Pre-Conference Workshop discount is based on the quantity of tickets you intend to purchase, not the number of attendees (i.e. If seven (7) people plan to attend multiple workshops totaling 10 or more, a 10% promo code will be issued.).
    • Once you request your promo code, please be prepared to purchase your tickets; each promo link will have a 10-day use period, and we will not generate a second code if it is not used. 
    • If you are interested in a group discount, please email our team.

    Which Ticket Should You Choose?

    If you are paying your own way, will not be reimbursed by your company, or work for a start-up, please choose "Self Paid/Start-ups - General Admission". If your company is paying for your ticket, please choose "Corporate - General Admission". We are trusting our Go community members to choose honestly.

    Student and Non-Profit Tickets

    If you fall into one of these categories, you have access to a conference ticket for $525, half-day workshop tickets for $225, and/or full-day workshop tickets for $375. If interested, please email us evidence of your status (i.e., student ID card or non-profit business card) and we will send you a promo code. Please be prepared to purchase your ticket(s); each promo link will have a 10-day use period, and we will not generate a second code if it is not used.

    Pre-Conference Workshop Tickets

    Based on attendees’ feedback, we are offering both half-day and full-day Pre-Conference Workshops at the conference on Monday, July 8th. Half-day workshops ($295) will allow some Gophers to learn about more than one subject, while also providing our budget-conscious attendees greater access to this day of learning. Our full-day workshops ($495) will be ideal for those who prefer to dive deep into a subject.

    A Pre-Conference Workshop ticket is only valid Monday, July 8th, and does not include access to the full conference, Tuesday, July 9th – Wednesday, July 10th. If you wish to attend the full conference, please purchase a General Admission ticket, in addition to your Pre-Conference Workshop ticket.
