Main Conference Day + Early Evening GTF Hang

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. – Big Room – 20th Street, Chico, CA 95928.

Tickets go on sale June 1st.

Tickets are non-refundable, however, tickets can be transferred without additional charge. Email: info@chicostart.com

Tickets include a full-day admission to GrowTECH FEST, lunch, cookie break, and GTF Networking Hang.

Absolutely! You can enter and exit the event at your leisure as long as you are wearing your GTF badge, which acts as your ticket after check-in registration.

We would love to represent your business at GTF! Please visit the Sponsorship Page to choose what level works best for you!

We will have a set of invited investors seated at the “Investor Table” within the audience and they will be walking around. Network and find them! It’s good practice with the intention of a casual friendly approach first, rather than going right into a hard pitch. ;)

While we appreciate your passion, we ask our guests to stick to business card exchange, LinkedIn share… Other solicitation will not be permitted on-site.

If you want to do more to promote your product/service, you are welcome to join us as a sponsor. Please email heather@chicostart.com if you’d like to reach the GTF audience. We’d love to recognize you!

You do you. Typically attendees are casual to business-casual. Consider the types of people you’ll be meeting – it’s always a good idea to make a good first impression.
