Important update: DevFest Raipur 2025 now a paid event 🎟️

Summary: Kuldeep Pisda announced that due to high demand, DevFest Raipur 2025 has shifted from a free event to a paid one, with a small participation fee introduced. Over 2000 registrations, far exceeding the initial plan for 300 participants, have necessitated this change to manage logistics. Participants who registered previously for free will need to register anew. Shaurya Tiwari and Ashish Raj, initially registered for free, confirmed they must re-register. Deepanshu Dhawle expressed concern about ticket availability, and Kuldeep Pisda clarified that tickets were stalled due to venue capacity, advising attendees to wait for further updates.

AI Summary

Hey Everyone! 👋

We’ve been absolutely blown away by the excitement around DevFest Raipur 2025, with 2000+ registrations already in! 🙌

Originally, we had planned for about 300 participants and kept the event free. But with the overwhelming response, we’ve had to scale up logistics, venue, and setup to make sure every attendee gets a great experience.

To keep everything running smoothly and sustainably, we’ve introduced a small participation fee this year. Every ticket helps us cover essential community costs, and ensures that DevFest Raipur stays by the community, for the community. 💛

🎟️ Ticket Options

🔹 Community Pass – ₹200
Full-day access to all talks, workshops, and networking zones. Perfect for learners and community members who want the complete DevFest learning experience.

🔹 Creator Pass – ₹500
Everything in the Community Pass plus exclusive DevFest merch, T-shirt, and goodies.

⚠️ Important Update for Earlier Registrants

If you had registered earlier for free, please note that those free registrations are no longer valid.
To confirm your seat, you’ll need to register again on the official ticketing page below 👇

Hi Shaurya! to ensure we all have a smoother experience we will have to make this event as the paid event. As we could only host 300 people earlier with the free tickets.
