The site says:

"The TechSummit diversity ticket program is meant to facilitate attendance at the conference by candidates from traditionally under-represented groups in Tech including women, people of color, LGBT, and people with disabilities."

i.e. if you are straight, white, male and able-bodied then you have to pay the registration fee.

EDIT: forgot 'male' as well.

It's bullshit

sad and pathetic, some really great speakers but I wouldn't go near that shit hole and I sure as fuck wouldn't pay because I'm a straight white male.
