San Jose City College students can get free tickets online to attend the Creative Convergence Silicon Valley conference at the California Theater from Oct. 6 to Oct 8.

The C2SV Technology Conference is an exclusive three-day event that hosts industry legends and luminaries, thought leaders, game-changing venture capital firms and a chorus of influential voices to explore opportunities, issues and trends in the rapidly evolving technology landscape, according to C2SV.com.

“We are giving students free tickets,” said Steven Meneses, the chief advancement officer at San Jose/Evergreen Community College District Foundation. “This is the partnership between the district foundation and C2SV.”

The conference will cover a variety of topics related to mobile computing, the cloud, apps, hardware, security/privacy, energy/environment, media/entertainment, health/wellness and a host of emerging technologies.

For non-students, the regular corporate pass price with no seat is $99. Other events may require separate tickets. The VIP tickets with seats and access to every event and exclusive networking and VIP Lounge would cost $199.
