Tickets are priced at $185; we have a cap of 200 people.
What do I get for my money?
Access to all sessions; morning coffee service on Saturday and Sunday; breakfast buffet on Saturday and Sunday.
Do you have reduced-price tickets?
No. We’ve tried to keep the price as affordable as possible for everyone.
Can I buy a ticket on someone else’s behalf?
Yes. If you buy a ticket during the crowdfunding campaign, you will receive a voucher code that you can give to someone else. During round-2 sales, you have the option to buy either a ticket for yourself or a voucher for someone else.
Can I have my ticket refunded?
Yes, up until 2 weeks before the event.
Is there a special room rate for conference members?
The hotel has a small block of rooms set aside for us at a reduced rate. You will receive a special link to book a room from that block in your confirmation e-mail when you buy a ticket.
If you are attempting to book after that block is sold out, try booking through a consolidator such as booking.com for a better deal.
Are there any other places to stay?
Downtown Pittsburgh has many other hotels nearby.

The Burn After Meeting organization
Is Burn After Meeting run by Burning Man, or affiliated with it?
No. Burning Man has provided advice and non-monetary support, but it is being run by a completely independent entity, Burn After Meeting Ltd.
Is Burn After Meeting a for-profit entity?
Legally, yes. It is a limited-liability company, not a non-profit. But it is not being run on a profit-seeking basis. Once costs have been covered and seed money set aside for next year, profits will be returned to participating organizations or donated to arts-granting entities.
Who is behind Burn After Meeting?
Burn After Meeting Ltd is a one-person LLC owned by Adam Rice, a former member of the board of directors for Burning Flipside, a Texas regional burn. The organizing committee includes some other people involved in regional burns.
