What it means for you

If an invite promises free ChatGPT Pro for signing up to an event, it's likely this scam.

What to do

Don't sign in with Microsoft or Google on a page you reached from an invite; go to openai.com yourself to check any offer.

The details

Similar fake pages copied a SpaceX briefing and an Anthropic session at AWS re:Invent. The links reach people through Google and Zapier short links, so they look harmless. None of the companies is behind them, and there's no free subscription.
