This sounds interesting – am just about to design my first website, so this could be a major eye opener for me. Also, Im running the new york marathon for charity the day before so this would be a nice way to unwind after!! Where is it taking place?

This event will be very helpful to any web design or graphic design professional.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter the contest.

TheFrosty
Sep 25, 2008 at 11:31 am

I would gladly accept a pass to that, then I would hop may ass on over to the east coast and get my web design on! I just went to the #bwe08 in Vegas. That was real cool, but something more focused on the Design aspect would be incredible.
Sign Frosty up!

Chris
Sep 25, 2008 at 1:34 pm

I would love to attend. November is when the polar bears come down from their caves here in Ottawa, Canada. It would be nice to avoid the first few days of their attacks and be at FOWD instead.

Jonas Strandell
Sep 25, 2008 at 1:36 pm

Future of Web Design sounds like something I need to hear. And the hometown of the Ramones ain’t too shabby either.

Tim
Sep 25, 2008 at 1:49 pm

It would be interesting to hear what you have to say. I wouldn’t mind going for free either!

Bryan B
Sep 25, 2008 at 2:02 pm

Winning a pass is probably the only way I’ll make it to FOWD. Good luck with your presentation.

Tyler Fry
Sep 25, 2008 at 2:03 pm

Hey, it would be awesome to expand my knowledge as a designer and you are great at what you do so I would love to hear from you at the conference. It’s a bit to expensive for me coming from Canada. But hey I could win who knows.

Elizabeth
Sep 25, 2008 at 2:37 pm

Christiaan Arthur Hemerik
Sep 25, 2008 at 3:22 pm

I was planning on going to NYC early next year anyway, so why not a little earlier? FOWD is the one conference (besides FOWA) wich I’d definitely like to attend! Especially since my main source of inspiration for web- and (photo)graphic design IS my environment (it’s in my area sort of speak) – so I consider your talk as one of the most interesting ones.

Cooliojulio

Ryan Burney

I think it’d be great to attend this event. As a web designer that feels the profession doesn’t get enough credit, I think this is a much needed annual shindig.

Adam Kirkwood
Sep 26, 2008 at 2:42 am

Send me to FOWD! I am currently a student and would like the opportunity to learn from some of the brightest people in our industry!

Congrats on having the opportunity to speak @ FOWD. I submitted my request @ work to attend FOWD, but was rejected because they felt it wasn’t relevant to my job. Funny thing is, I’m an Interactive Designer with a focus on Front End Development. Would love the opportunity to attend.

Keep up the great work.

Sep 28, 2008 at 6:02 pm

Looks like there’s a ton of great speakers that are going to be there… I went to SXSW Interactive last year and vowed to attend more conferences like that since I had such a blast networking (read: drinking free booze) and hearing from tons of people that are active in the industry. From the lineup, it sounds like this conference is shaping up to be similar :)

Lasse Rintakumpu

Heard that the event is the place to be for inspiration, networking and whatnot.

Though more than that, I need a vacation and New York doesn’t sound bad at all (I’m also writing a book partly situated in NYC, so visiting there now could work miracles on the inspiration and authenticity).

Blair
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:29 am

Might as well give this a shot.

Brad
Sep 29, 2008 at 10:31 am

Went to FOWD last year. Ryan Singer’s class was excellent. Best of the conference – seeing a major FlashHouse decry the use of Flash in websites that it designed for its own clients. Wow. Of course, that video didn’t make it into the FOWD Viddler library.

This is very cool of you to be doing. I had been drooling over this conference ever since they announced it on Carsonified’s site. I have gone through and listened and watched every presentation from past events to learn as much as possible. I am an avid reader of yours Nick, as well as Carsonified, and one of my favs Elliot Jay Stocks (formerly with Carsonified). I live on the west coast and would use the last of my FF miles to fly over for the conference in a heart beat. I was planning to go earlier in the year, but just got married in August and I am sure you can figure out the rest of that story. BUT if I had won a ticket to the conference, I would be OBLIGATED to go… both to my profession as well as to fate. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to your presentation!
