If you purchase any annual membership offer, before each event we'll send you a custom promo code to register for the event at no additional cost.
*NOTE: Passes are valid only for standard paid, ticketed events hosted by Startup Grind Chicago in 2026 and do NOT apply for events hosted by other chapters, Startup Grind HQ, the Startup Grind Global Conference, Premium Events like half or full-day summits, or events hosted by external community partners. Currently a minimum of 10 events are scheduled for 2026. If you choose not to attend an event, passes do not 'roll over' into the next event or into 2027 (i.e. if you purchase annual membership and miss an event in January, you don't get awarded 2 passes for February).
