Off to Carsonified Events with a little help from my Friends?
The wonderful guys over at Carsonified are throwing a contest, which will allow one lucky ‘golden ticket’ holder to a free ticket to ALL Carsonified 2009 events. Which includes Future of Web Design, Future of Web Apps, Future of Mobile, Fuel and all Carson Workshops. Theyre calling it “The Carsonified Golden Ticket”.
As well as giving you a free ticket to all the carsonified 2009 events, they are also offering to fly you out to one of their events, and put you up in a hotel for the event!
If that wasnt enough already, you will get an all-access backstage pass at all the 2009 Carsonified events, and an invite to the VIP speaker dinner at one Carsonified event of your choice!
I’ve been to FOWA 2007 and FOM 2007. I have also bought my tickets for FOWA 2008 and FOM 2008. All I can say is they’re excellent events. I very much encourage you to attend these events if you want to keep up to date with what’s happening, in their respective fields. These events give you a key insight of trends and developments currently on the web, and currently emerging on the web.
The line-ups have always been great, and are always action packed. Not to mention a live diggnation at the end of last years FOWA 2007, and again this year at FOWA 2008.
As well as a great entertainment and atmosphere, the Carsonified events are truly at the forefront of what’s happening on the web & the other fields their conferences cover. For example FOM 07 was the first place that Google’s Android was demonstrated.
To be eligible to enter the competition, you must do the following:
- Write a blog post about wanting to win the Golden Ticket, linking to this post
- Drum up 25 comments on the post (they can’t be you or spam and only one comment per person)
- Submit the URL by October 1st at Midnight UK time
- Watch the live draw on UStream on Thursday, October 2nd at 5pm London time
- Party accordingly!
There are some terms & conditions so i suggest you see the original post over at carsonfied website here.
I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to attend these conferences due to Carsonified offering great student priced tickets. I will be graduating in July ‘09. So will then have to pay full price like everyone else. However I would love to attend more Carsonified events!
I would be really appreciative if you guys & gals could leave a comment on the bottom of this post, to allow me to be eligible to enter for this competition I would really appreciate it.
P.S. I so want to do a blog post with the following video in it now. The grandfather is soo cool!
