The SaaStr Rising Star Scholarship Program is now CLOSED for 2020.

Due to the overwhelming response, the Rising Stars program has reached capacity and is no longer accepting applications for SaaStr Annual 2020. Thank you to all who applied or helped us promote the program!

If you want to attend SaaStr Annual and cannot get budget for a paid ticket, we encourage you to apply for our Equality, Inclusion & Balance Program if eligible (passes are limited and being awarded to the most underrepresented members of the community first). You can also apply as a volunteer. All accepted volunteers get a full 3-day pass to enjoy the event outside of their volunteer hours.

 


Nominate a Rising Star for our Scholarship Program

This year, in partnership with Gainsight, we’re reserving 100 no-cost Rising Star passes to 2020 SaaStr Annual!!

Anyone in a Director+ role at a SaaS company is invited to nominate the Rising Stars on your Customer Success team to receive complimentary passes to attend the 2020 Annual. This is your opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of the very best individual contributors and aspiring leaders on your team! You may nominate multiple employees from within your company — we encourage you to give all of your best people the same opportunities to learn and grow!

Rising Stars ARE:

  • Up-and-coming Customer Success Associates, CSMs, Happiness Officers, Onboarding Specialists, Account Managers, etc. No VPs, Directors, CXOs, etc. SORRY!! :)

  • Must have at least 2 years of SaaS experience at SaaS companies > $1m in ARR

  • Would benefit from attending 2020 Annual, but cannot get budget to come

 
 
 
What I enjoy most about the content that SaaStr generates is that it’s relevant to my role as an individual contributor, but also helps me think about the bigger picture as I grow my career.
— Shawn Jimenez, CSM @ Red Canary
 

We want THE NEXT GENERATION TO ATTEND!!

Nominate the Rising Stars on your team here, and we’ll name the winners in batches! We are looking forward to seeing as many next generation leaders as possible on March 10, 11 & 12 in the SF Bay Area!


Notes:

  1. By submitting, you agree your answers to “Why Should this Nominee Attend 2020 Annual?” and “Favorite SaaStr Story, Post, Experience, etc. if Any” may be used in any SaaStr marketing materials.

  2. By submitting, you agree that your name may be shared with the nominee named in your submission.

  3. The Rising Stars passes include access to select Annual content and activities, including parties. However, the one exclusion is some of the food + beverages during the day, which are astronomically expensive. These attendees should plan on packing a sandwich.

  4. Some recipients may be asked to pay a truly nominal $25 fee — if so, it will be refunded when you attend on site. This is solely to manage attrition and make sure the most possible members of the next generation can come. Folks that don’t show up waste a slot for someone who could truly benefit from attending.

  5. All SaaStr Annual attendees are responsible for their own travel and lodging accommodations.

  6. Nominating more than 5 employees? Please submit the above application once, and then email amy@saastrinc.com with the list of names, titles and emails of the folks you’d like to nominate.
