As the date for the MWC 2013 is approaching, I would like to compile a list of useful advice or links to get a free pass or access to VIP parties, venues...
What I know from last year:
- RIM was giving free passes and an invitation to their keynote, in which they gave a Playbook to every attendee. I haven't found anything similar for this year, so it won't be that easy to get a sponsored pass by them this year.
- You could also get a sponsored pass from the official MWC website. This year you can too.
- Ericsson had a private space with a free buffet. I managed to get access, and when exiting and passing the pass through the card reader, you got added to the access list (free meals for the whole MWC :D).
- There are a couple of events from WIP Connector which seem interesting. You can also ask for a sponsored pass in the registration form.
- There was a Microsoft night event for VIPs one night which had amazing food and open bar. I got an invitation through a friend who had been invited by Microsoft through a link. There was an exploit that allowed anybody who registered through the same link to get an invitation too.
Do you have any other hacks worth sharing? Would love to hear yours.
