At MongoDB, the goal is to host events that are accessible to the community, excluding those who cannot afford a high ticket price. To achieve this, an affordable pricing model has been created for MongoDB World 2017, allowing attendees to purchase tickets for as low as $224.25, with discounts available for early bookings. The new pricing aims to make the conference more inclusive for individuals and companies from various backgrounds, including students, freelancers, and startup and nonprofit employees.
