You can contact us for any payment questions at payments [at] qconsf.com (payments[at]qconsf[dot]com).

We offer discounted prices for purchasing earlier. We call this offer our “early bird” pricing. The earlier the ticket is purchased prior to the start of the conference, the larger the discount offered. You can review our list of early bird deadlines and pricing changes in our pricing table (subject to change without notice). For early bird pricing offers, we show the savings (as a percentage) if the ticket is purchased today versus the full price charged at the conference.

QCon offers different discounts, varying by ticket type:

In-person conferences: Groups as small as 3 attendees working for the same company are eligible for a group discount applicable on the 3-day, 4-day and/or 5-day tickets. Discounts are not applicable on the 1-day conference or workshop-only tickets.

Video-Only Pass: Groups looking to purchase a Video-Only Pass benefit from a 4+1 discount being applied upon registration of a group of 5. To apply the 4+1 discount to your order, go to our registration page, add 5 or more Video-Only Passes to your basket, and enter the code BUY4GET1FREEVIDEOPASS23 at checkout.

We also offer our returning QCon and QCon Plus attendees an alumni discount.

For more details and to apply for a discount code, please contact info [at] qconsf.com (info[at]qconsf[dot]com) and mention the size of a group or the alumni name(s). Discounts cannot be combined or applied retroactively.

We accept Paypal and major credit cards. A payment charged to your credit card or Paypal account is processed directly by us in the funds stated on the website. Please note that QCon is a trademarked and wholly-owned brand of C4Media Inc., which is located in Canada. Customers outside Canada or cards denominated in other currencies may incur foreign transaction or exchange fees from their issuing bank. C4Media does not control nor collect these fees. 

You are able to pay by invoice online by checking the "Do You Want to Pay Later by Invoice?" checkbox during registration.

When paying by invoice, our terms are NET 30*. Net 30 means that payment will be due 30 days from the day on which you register and the invoice is issued. PLEASE NOTE that this may mean the pricing will increase if the 30-day deadline falls within the next early bird discount period. Refer to the FAQ section “What are the early bird discounts” for full details. Carefully review the registration early bird deadlines and pricing changes on the pricing table to check the price you will pay.
