As a 20 year old New Media designer, I would love the opportunity to learn more and experience so much knowledge in one place and listen to the great leaders of my industry. It is my passion to continue furthering myself so that one day I can be someone speaking at of these events, and teaching others about the ways of the web.
Thanks for the great blog,
Christopher
Joel
…and this be my entry.
Cheers.
David
Thanks so much for posting this. I’m a NY based design technology consultant (mostly 3d for architects) and I’m doing more and more web work (Intranets with drupal and WP). Trained as an architects I was never really taught how to design for the web. Although I find designing for the web to be a lot like designing buildings, their is a lot of nuance and and this would be an amazing opportunity to learn by attending the FOWD conference.
Thanks again!!
Egor
Oh, I want it so much!
Asi Epshtain
There can be only one!
Odin Dutton
Winning this would be amazing, thanks for the oppertunity!
I’m a 19 year old freelance web designer fresh out of highschool and trying to break into the web design world. FOWD would be an amazing experience that I would learn so much from attending! Thanks again, Odin
Rich Staats
I would be sooo stoked to get that opprotunity!
Desmond Hume
As a designer for our web apps and for client sites, I look forward to the opportunity to attend fOWD NYC, to hear the pearls of wisdom from the web design luminaries
Adam Kirkwood

I am 12 years old (turning 13 on Nov. 22 :P) and I read about the FOWD conference in Web Designer magazine. When I’m older, I want to own my own company and be a professional developer. It would huge opportunity to learn about where the WWW is going in the future.
zeemiDesign
I would love to be able to participate in an event with such known and excellent speakers…
Stacey
I would love to addend this kind of conference. I have dabbled in web design for several years, and would love to catch up on the latest trends and techniques!
Richard Tape
Hey Nick, this would be an awesome prize to win! Also, welcome to Twitter! :) Very much looking forward to the redesign too – expecting ‘special’ things as always!
All the way from gloomy Manchester, England
Marko Prljić
Don’t know if content of comment is considered here. Anyway, please give me a chance to meet my Web friends and finally take a trip to NY!
Cheers to all.
Stephanie
I would love to come! I’m from Sydney it would be a great trip
David Appleyard
Would love to go. Cheers for the opportunity Nick!
Ainara
I would love to go. I’m from Spain :)
It would be wonderful!!
David
Have always wanted to go to FOWD… thanks for the chance!
Jason
Any opportunity to learn more about my trade is welcomed. Thanks for the chance to win.
Tony
I think it’d be pretty cool to hang out with some like-minded individuals and learn some tips from the pros.
Justin
I went to FOWA in Miami last year and learned about the programming side of things. It would be nice if I knew how to make these apps look good!
Austin Kim
I want to improve my web development skill and thought FOWD would be the best place to start. Please allow me to attend this event.
Caleb Brown
I work by myself (and with my clients), doing freelance web design and development – so I relish any chance to connect with fellow practitioners. Money is tight around here, I have no extra funds to do this sort of career development this year. Your free pass would change my situation. Thanks for the opportunity!
Jennifer
FOWD would be awesome! Great speakers. Would love to go…
Tom Jenkins
Having never attended a FOWD before, this is the perfect opportunity!
Gavin
We’re a web development firm in London, Ontario (a quick trip to NYC). FOWA and FOWD are events that we’ve followed closely but haven’t had the time to attend. With the right catalyst (free tickets) we’ll have one of our best and brightest in NYC to learn and share.
Thank you for the opportunity.
Dale Cruse
Though I’ve been a full-time front-end website developer for many years, I always work to keep my skills and thinking fresh. Conferences like these are essential to my professional development but unfortunately, due to the current economic climate, I could not afford to attend without this free conference pass. If chosen, I would also Tweet constantly about what’s going on to share the information with as many as possible. Thank you for your consideration.
Matt
Wow sounds good! Nice opportunity for me to get in touch with this again!
Brian
I’d love to go to FOWD, it would really get the creative juices flowing. Thanks!
O3tker
Jeff
I’d really love to gather opinions on where the industry is headed, from future developments in technology with CSS3/HTML5, etc… to the ongoing evolution in web aesthetics! Thanks!
Deanna
I’d love to go to FOWD to hear from the industry’s leading designers. I think that would help me break out of my design rut!
Briar
I am a freelancer, and this type of function is not in my wildest budget right now. I would love the opportunity to learn from some of the brightest in the field.
Amy Lacy
I work for a big company, designing for the corporate portal. We have had a freeze on any sort of conference or training for more than a year now. I follow design trends on the web, but yearn for more. With the strict guidelines we have to follow, it is challenging at times to create elegant design work. I would love to expand my repertoire and see what others are doing. I would happily come up with my own travel money and take vacation days in order to attend!
Cipa
It would be great to win my my first trip to a web conference.
Gavin
I am just about to launch a startup business and would have loved to budgeted this into my plans, but my funds only stretch so far, so winning a ticket would be a great opportunity.
A well designed/assessable front end is what I am aiming for and I think this conference would give me a chance to get my designs on track and avoid any pitfalls.
Jennifer Cristaldi
I’m the sole web designer/producer for a small company and do freelancing as well. Neither of my jobs has the budget to provide access to a conference like FOWD. I do my best to keep up with things on the web, but face to face interaction with leaders in the industry would be a fantastic opportunity.
Damian Zannini
I’m a design student, and I’m certain I would learn a lot from this conference!
Scott
I should be given the pass because everyone else isn’t as cool as me.
Nancy
hi!
wink
I just started up a business in webdesign and development and what better way to stay in touch with the hip and happening than FOWD? ;)
James Bull
This conference would be an increadible opportunity! I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
Joshua Rapp
First off let me say, I would never pass up an opportunity to go to FOWD. Secondly, I would forever be grateful and in your debt for an opportunity such as this. Plus it would be nice to win something. ;)
Bob
It’s NY and its FOWD. Who could pass the opportunity to hang with the biggest brains in the industry in the best city in the world?
Giania
The more I see and hear about design for the web, the more I want to improve my understanding and make the best possible sites around. Being familiar with some of the presenters already, and knowing what a strong and current curriculum they have to offer is truly exciting and I’d love nothing more than the opportunity to go. Unfortunately the company I work for does not see the same amount of value in this always-be-learning type of activity as I do, and I cannot realistically afford to go on my own dime.
Winning these tickets would mean a lot to me. :)
Vitaly Friedman
Hi Nick!
I’ve heard, that you are redesigning your Blog N.Studio. It would be great, if you would release your old blog design as a Freebie on Smashing Magazine!
Regards
Vitaly Friedman
Duy
Hi Nick! I would like to come!
Jacob McDaniel
An opportunity of a lifetime, a learning experience, I would love to win these tickets and start my new job off just right.
Derek Bender
FOWD in NYC will be great. Why would anyone NOT want to go?
Andrew C
I went to FOWD last year and I have to say that it was great… one of the better design conferences Ive been to
Jim Arment
I’ve never been to FOWD, so this would be a great opportunity for me to learn tons! Plus my in-laws live in NY, so I could spend some time with them.
Faby
I just graduated from college, I am a Web Designer and Developer, I really would like to assist to FOWD and I think an opportunitty like this would be really a great opportunity to learn and gain some experience.
Chelsea Parker
As we all know, the job market is getting to be more depressing than those ASPCA commercials with the Sarah McLachlan songs. And I’m smack dab in the middle of it as a recent college graduate who’s sent out 109 resumes and job applications in the past month (with no response), and who’s had to swallow my pride and move back in with my parents. So now, I’d do pretty much anything to break up the monotony of my everyday routine of spending 18 hrs a day trying to find employment.
(the gist: Getting the chance to go to FOWD would be a shining glimmer of hope to combat the dismal state of the job market’s effect on me.)
Plus, I’d love to get the chance to practice self-control by trying not to pee my pants in front of the likes of such an amazing collection of web design industry celebrities!
Whether I’m picked or not, thank you for the opportunity Nick, and for maintaining such a fantastic and inspirational collection of sites!
Osvaldo Gomez
I’m entering in the business of web design and development I think FOWD would be a perfect start for me. I have seen few videos of their events before and helped me to understand a lot stuff about web design. It would be such an honor to attend in person to one of their events.
sean
I’m poor but have potential to be a great designer. Pick me and all your dreams will come true. Pedro needs your vote, too.
C. TIen
I’m a web designer and i have never been to FOWD! I’ve heard all the best about it and I would really love to be a part of it for once and hear the well-respected design masters workshop! also, it would be so great to meet with fellow designer! Thanks!
Cesar
I’d be great to get a change to go, heard of FOWD but never actually been to one.
tornth
An eye-opening event, looking forward to join this conference.
Luis Rivera
Wow the FOWD thats amazing event. One of the best in the web design industry.
Mark
Living in Brisbane I’ve never been to anything quite like FOWD, but not for want of trying, It’s just not exactly the home of web design conferences! Plus I’m in need of a trip abroad so this would be more than the motivation I need to dust off the passport.
Darren Chan
In FTW!
Pipo Zoft
WOW This event will be awesome,we have to make events like this all over the world to get ready for the future of ineternet and communcations systems….I’d love to go to learn from the top the web design in this insane world….\m/
Minneapolis Web Design Guy
Would definitely love a chance to go to this conference. Like many others, I’ve heard of it, but have never actually been able to go.
Andreas Schmid
Im a web developer and love NYC! web design and new technologies are my daily challenge! would love to participate on the event!!
Michael
I could preach about how i am poor, and how i am a great designer, but in reality we are all struggling, if you are an artist, it is pretty hard to survive on that alone. I do not have the funds to pay for tickets to things like FOWD, but would love to go, because i spend a majority of my life researching design and to better my design knowledge, along with skills. I do know a bit of programming, but would like to learn and progress. To have the opportunity to join the presents of leaders in our industry would be an honor and a delight.
cheers, and thanks for the chance to win tickets.
aneliya
I like web design, I am clearly a *novator* in this field, but trust me I do learn fast! And where can you learn best? – of course, listen to the masters! So, would be great if I attend it!
Chris
I wish to attend forthwith because I want to eat food on a scale of which the likes my English stomach has never seen.
Dries
Living in a small country as Belgium is, I would love to get another approach on webdesign, and get influenced by all the things I ‘ll see.
Barry Lavelle
I work for a large company in a small team of designers based in the UK. The marketing team for years have given us impossible deadlines to meet and this has compromised the quality and stifled our ideas. Now though things have started to change and the company is taking a more positive step towards making our sites more user friendly, web compliant and more pioneering too. With the extra time we now have i am looking to take some of my team forward and FOWD is a great place to start. I always feel re-energised after attending and am given ideas that really make a difference. I think it would really open our eyes and offer us a chance to step back from the clutter and see where we should be headed. Thanks
Ilona
Hi!
I would so love to join the conference ! I am allmost graduated web designer and starting my own business and intoweblog.com -blog. The conference would be a great chance for me to meet professionals and get more perspective and confidence to my designs.
All the best,
Ilona
Amy Mahon
I want to network, listen, learn, party and sightsee NYC!
Web Design Lebanon
It is a long way from Beirut, Lebanon but I’d like to visit.
Samuele Schiavon
Hi I’m Samuele Schiavon a web & graphics designer from Venice, Italy. It would be great to attend to FOWD, because:
a) it’s the most important web design event around;
b) many great names and signatures of the discipline, including some like Elliot Jay Stocks and Dan Cederholm, whom I regularly read;
c) Because I never been at FOWD and also at NYC :-)
Thanks
Ricardo Escude
As a Project Manager and Interface designer I would love to recylce myself and a trip to NY!
Greetings
Emma
Well, just as thrilled I would be joining this event….just as thrilled will this event be to having met me
Ollie Wells
To me, web design is all about a passion to evolve, progress and enhance.
FOWD is one of the events that really fuels this passion, and I would love to be part of that.
Cheers.
Kevin May
Who wouldn’t love to go to FOWD, one of most important web conferences ever. I’ve never been able to go to one because I’m a bit tight on money right now, but would love to have the opportunity to experience it at least once someday.
Dallas
I would LOVE to go to FOWD. A web design conference in NYC would be so inspiring. Would definitely travel to NYC for this event.
Tim
Maybe I’ll win…
Josh
I’d love to hear what some of the more experienced members of the web design community have to say, but mostly I think this would be a great networking event to meet some other like minded designers and share ideas.
Anna
I’ve only been officially doing this for a couple of years, I still feel like I’m missing a lot, maybe they’ll tell me something at the conference that will help me make it to that next level. :)
Tobias
I am planning on starting a business as a webdesigner, attending this event would certainly be a big leap forward for me in my quest to learn and grow as a webdesigner.
Gadams
Hello. Here’s some backstory: I am a designer in an ad agency in the philly area which has only recently begun to shift away from direct mail and into digital media. Many of the ‘old hats’ who run the agency are still blown away by bursts and gradients and flash 7. Whenever I try to tout the merits of WP, CSS, Coldfusion, etc – I’m mercilessly bludgeoned with “just do what the f— we tell you.” a la J. Jonah. Jameson. I cannot get my bosses to shell out the money to upgrade from CS2, let alone attend a conference on the future of web design, which I love to learn.
Please support this technologically- malnourished designer.
Thank you.
Tiffany
There aren’t a lot of web conferences in Alabama, where I’m working–it would be amazing to get to go!
Steve Ambielli
I’m always thrilled when FOWD comes to NYC. Not only does the conference inspire web designers & developers, but it’s also a great place to network and meet others that share the same goals.
Damjan Mozetič
Having attended FOWA in London, I’d really like to see what FOWD is all about. And hey, it’s in NY.
Tal
It’s an amazing opportunity to hear from the leaders of the web design industry, as well meet and chat with peers, which is not something I get much of a chance to do. I was always a bit too intimidated to go, but if given this opportunity for a free ticket I would definitely take advantage and finally attend!
Madeline Vu
Please pick me!!
Ian Davis
I would love to attend. Please consider me.
Dan George
I’d love to go!
Andrew Swanson
It would be an amazing opportunity. I love to connect and speak with those that are on on the leading edge of the industry. I am always hungry to learn more.

Caroline Timbers

Chris Bay
Free ticket please :)
Wayne
I’ve read so much about FOWA, it would be the highlight of my year to attend!
Kim
I haven’t been to a conference in a long time. And with budget cuts at the university I work for, it’s been impossible for me to fund the trip on my own. Thanks for the consideration! I love this blog!
C. Amor
Wooohoowww go with tha flow!
Eric
I would love to go. It’s always nice to get fresh ideas for websites, and what better way than to attend a conference with leaders in the industry.
Melissa
Oh, Oh, pick me! I’d LOVE to go. :)
Amanda Gann
I’d love to go to this but I’d also love for my husband to go so he can have this experience. It would make a great birthday gift for him (Nov. 13th). I’m a freelance graphic/web designer and he is a very talented amateur web developer who would like to make his hobby his full-time job somewhere down the line. He is always trying to learn more in his free time and being exposed to the latest and greatest in design and development would be such a good time for him. Please pick me so I can give the ticket to him!
Carolyn Ehn
Would love to go to this! I’m a web/interactive designer and I know I would learn a lot that I could incorporate into my work. Please pick me :)
Kurt Cruse
Just missed out on AEA (on my birthday), with many of the same wonderful speakers, here in my hometown of Chicago. Plus I’ve never been to NYC, what better reason to finally make the visit!!
Chad Misselhorn
I would love to go to this. I’m a webdesigner and developer and am always thirsty for more ideas.
Trygve
I would love to go. Fingers crossed. (BTW – How do you pick the winner?)
Tova
Would love a seat!
Saidur
Want to help out a very young aspiring web designer? :)
june gonzales
Pickmepickmepickme….
Bala
I would love to win a ticket because my bestfriend lives in newyork, and I would love to visit him and learn more about web design and be inspired, so it’d be a win, win, win situation.
Thanks.
adam
i’d love to go and learn about the future of web design and meet the carsonafied team and promote web standards . Its been quite challenging for me(my start up )a few years ago i decided to return to school and pursue my passion (web design) i could not find work in a company so i decided to start one by my self party inspired my Ryan carson to do what i love to do !
Adam
Jon
This conference is sick! Who wouldn’t want to go.
Marjorie Lapointe-Aubert
I was there in 2007 and it was the best. I wish I could go again this year!
Javier
After my employer rejected three conference trips this year, I’ve been anxiously waiting to purpose the next to them even though I’m sure they’ll reject my request again. These hard times make it difficult to explore more web design conferences so I can expand my knowledge and help my employer as well as myself. I’d love to go, just once! But I won’t give up petitioning my employer! Perhaps next year will be better?
laura
Because it will be the best present ever as it’s my birthday on the November 14th!! :-)
Lindsey
I would LOVE to go. Thanks :-)
Samantha
I’m still new to the web design field and I’m loving it so far. This would be my first ever conference so I’m sure it would be really insightful and help me to become better at what I love to do =)
Sarah
I’d love to go to this :3
It’d be pretty interesting and it would help with the website I am making. I’m also helping my older sister to make a shop website for the gift shop in NZ. I’m only 16, but I believe I could really achieve something from this. So please, do pick me :3!
Sarah!~
Mark
Alrighty, here we go!
Mark
Give it to Sarah!
Keith
I don’t want the tickets. Please don’t give them to me. Thank you.
Ivan E Nunez
Great to see women represented (3) in the speaking roster. Didn’t the conference get some grief last year for being male centric? The schedule looks excellent.
Frances Macalinao
I would LOVE to go because a) I’m passionate about web design and would love to learn more from the design gods going to this event, b) I can’t afford to go and my boss refuses spend the money to send me there because they only spend money on equipment for the developers, and c) I love New York! Thanks for doing this guys!
Benjamin Horak
I’m a new web designer in the industry and I want to build up my development and design skills. I believe that web design can used as a creative artistic medium as well as a communication platform for organizations and companies. It would be a dream to attend!
Sensation
I would love to be there i’m doing a web design studie at the moment and this would be very helpfull! :D
Federico
I would love to attend a conference like FOWD. I am a student passionate about web design and development and I have read wonderful comments about this event.
Alekos
I’m not able to go to school, hence I’ve thought myself everything I know about web and graphic design. It’ll be a great opportunity to attend the FOWD. It’ll make me grow as a designer, and it’ll help me get out of the hole I’m into.
Best of luck to everyone! I hope I get it =]
Brett Weik-Ulrich
Most if the web sites on earth are horrible. I want to change that. FOWD might help!!!
Skylar
Maybe i’ll win ’em?
Peter
Id love to be there
Indrek
FOWD, here I come… :-)
Maddie
I really would love to go this! I’m in school right now and it would be great to meet some other people in the industry…
Thanks!
Jose Espinal
I want to be there because I love so much what I do and I want to get even better at it so bad. I have been looking forward to go to one of these international (for me) conferences for a long time, but there is no way I can afford it with what I currently earn (payment for websites around here is not good).
Joao Narciso
FOWD, I’m feeling lucky
Tom Krupka
Dan Cederholm, Daniel Burka, Elliot Jay Stocks, Jason Santa Maria, Joshua Davis, Kristina Halvorson and Molly Holzschla! Do I need to say more?
Did I mention how much I like your site? Wink, wink…
John Riemen
This would be really beneficial to me since I am always looking for that edge in gaining new clients.
Learning some new design trends would be fantastic. :)
james
I wanna go! I wanna Go!
Sarah
Oh me me me. Can I go? Pretty please!?
Matt
Would love to go and gain some serious web knowledge. And who doesn’t love New York?
Samar
I am a photographer/scientist/web designer who is willing to come all the way from India to attend it! Has anybody got this strong a reason?? Pick me Please!! :p
Jannaee
I would like to learn the newest trends to share with my coworkers.
Andi
I would love to go to the conference so I can make our vacation booking website even better for our consumers :)
Eric Desch
pick me please
bmccormack
With the state of the web changing on a moment by moment basis, It is important to stay on top of where the web is going. Attending this conference will give me an upper hand and allow me to offer my clients forward thinking features and ideas. The FOWD workshops sound amazing and I feel that I would benefit greatly from them.
Andrew Gormley
I love staying on the cutting edge when it comes to web design and its related fields. This would be a great opportunity to glean information from the best in the biz.
Yasir Hossain
Would love to go! I’ve been meaning to check out the design conference for a while!
Justin Prahst
I’d love to go also.
Jasmine Wilson
Would love to go PLEEAAASSSEEE ^_^
David Emmett
I’m a student, so the chance to go to a big conference like this would be a great opportunity for me to network with people in the industry and learn new skills. Also, I’ve never been to NYC.
Melia
Web design is a HUGE part of my life! I just graduated with my BA in Web design and so this would be INCREDIBLY important and great experience for me to attend this. As a fellow Web designer and developer we all need to stay up on the trends and be in tune with what the future holds! Money has been a bit tight lately and I otherwise will not be able to attend! I would also LOVE to be able to attend the workshops and hear the great minds of companies such as Vimeo.
Brian
I have never been east of Ohio and would love to go to this conference. Double whammy – POW!
Ryan
I happen to be in NYC the weekend before FOWD and would love the opportunity to attend. Already cleared the additional time off with my boss ;)
Keith Ronan
As soon as I heard FOWD was going to be in NYC in November I began to lose 10 minutes of actual sleep time each night. Each night an additional 10 minutes of sleep is seemingly disappearing as the thought of what will be certainly the most impacting Web c. At this point I sleep only one hour. Tomorrow……..50 minutes…. I must go to FOWD in November or I might never sleep again. How am I to continue to improve my web skills and grow my business if I don’t attend this amazing web design conference? I don’t know, and I don’t want to find out. Please select me as the winner. I will be forever grateful and I will sleep for weeks!!!!
SIncerely,
Keith

Steve Oldham
I would love to go to FOWD…cutting edge web, NY and cheap trainers…what more do you want from a trip abroad eh?!
Robyn
I was able to go to FOWD 2 years ago and it was the most amazing, inspirational conference I’ve been to so far. It’s great to be around so many creative people in your field and to be taught by the masters! I was supposed to go this year again but changed jobs and alas I am no longer going! I would LOVE to be able to attend this year!!!
Frank Stallone
I have not had the pleasure of going to FOWD but admire Ryan Carson, his crew, and all of the presenters! I can not wait to meet the crowd, it will definitely be a great time. =)
Cara
This conference line-up looks very interesting and I happen to be in the NYC area. It would be a great experience.
Namie Genkin
I really want to go to FOWD!!
I think it’s very important to meet all these great speakers.
If I win, I will not waste the free ticket. I will take advantage of all the possibilities. Thanks!
Namie
Neil Torrefiel
AWESOMENESS!!! Never been before – but I got a chance to see web design ninjas Derek and Molly and they’re both freakin hilarious. I’d like to go because I want to be a web design ninja too.
Ariyo
As a web designer, I think we all need to be tuned with where the web is going. and big part of it is attending these awesome conferences. I’ve never attended FOWD and would love to join this year since I’m really close to NYC. Thanks for the opportunity to win a ticket.
Nathan Barry
NYC is a ways away, but that would be an awesome event to go to. Looking forward to see who wins!
Denis
I’m in NYC as well and dying to go to this event. The sessions look to be awesome and I can’t wait.
Cheers,

i would love a free ticket. i went a few years ago and had the best time.
Sarah
XDDD thanks, Mark. I hope I do get it, I may not be the best at this but with some training and this inspiration I could get better.
Rachel Nash
I would LOVE to go back to the city for this! I’ve never been to a design conference, but as an upcoming web designer, FOWD seems like the perfect place to start. ;)
Sean
Hope to go to the conference. Thanks for the contest!
lundeqvist
I need som inspiration! :)
Love from Sweden
Adam G
Hey Nick,
I’m an Interactive AD here in NYC (Which, at my Agency, means an AD who deals with 98% online content). For the past year we have been so focused on winning new business and pumping out work in bulk to keep “hitting our numbers” that I’ve barely had time to open my eyes to what’s new on the horizon of my own industry!
I would love the chance to attend FOWD and hopefully come back to work ready to push our creative work to where it should be – to places we’ve yet to take it. Thanks!
-Adam
Will Winkler
I have only been to one conference, due to monies or lack thereof and would love to attend some more. Thanks for the contest and the site!!
Mariana G.
To be face to face with the leading designers would be a great opportunity to learn, as we do not have this kind of conferences here.
Joe
My wife likes it when I get out of the house
Victor Ortiz
Would love to be able to give this conference pass to my lead web designer. Due to budget restraints I haven’t been able to send any team members to conferences in a while and it would be awesome to surprise her with this!
David
First, I never been to New-York, wich makes me really sad! Im a young design/web/marketing pasionnate. This event would be and unbelievable chance for me to learn from the best! They say it only happen’s once in a lifetime! :)
Chad Smith
It would be nice to finally see Elliot Jay Stocks speak. I’ve already learned so much from him.
Plus I’ve never been outside Colorado. New York would be a nice trip.

I would love to be able to go to this conference. Budget constraints have taken away all conference funds and these are so key to fresh, inspiring work. I am already in New York so the pass would not go to waste. Thanks!

Hi Nick,
I simply want more inspiration and innovative ideas on how to better design and develop e-Learning experiences with the use of Adobe Flash, Captivate, Connect, etc.
I am an Interactive Multimedia Developer from Ottawa, Canada and would very much appreciate the chance to attend FOWD for the first time.
Due to budget limitations either at work or personally I cannot make it to FOWD this year.
Thanks Nick for doing this pass give away by the way.
Cheers.
Carlos

I’m planning on hitting wordcamp NY right around that time and would love a ticket to FOWD. I did FOWA Miami back in February and it was pretty awesome. Count me in please.

Phil LaPier
I’m a student designer who is on a tight budget. I am an upcoming designer who is constantly learning, staying up with the latest tends and trying to pave the path to the future of web and design related work. My goal is to inspire others and change the world through creative problem solving, no matter how minute the change may be. I’d love to get the chance to attend and be in an environment where inspiration is prevalent and people are actively exchanging ideas and creative thought!
I live in Albany, NY so I would certainly be available to attend.
Cheers!

I am just learning about web design and will start my certification classes in November. I think I will need to get some basics under my belt before I would attend a design conference in order to apply what I would learn. So, could I put in a request for ticket for the next go around? Or maybe some follow up lessons from this year? That would be great…always ready to tackle a new design idea. Thanks!
Ben

Never attended one of these events. Have dabbled in website design for years and will be going back to school in march (Devry) for a degree in CIS with am emphasis on website development. Would love to go to get a good idea of what the industry is doing and it would be a most excellent networking opportunity. I live in NYC already so its only a subway ride away !
Fabian
I happen to be at NYC that exact week i would totally love that ticket! I’m coming all the way from Mexico so you can bet I’ll be there! I’m currently working on my sixteen chapel of web design so i would love all the extra inspiration + ideas i can get!
Jeannie
I am a web designer and developer for a living and I’m always looking for inspiration and what the latest trends are. I’ve never been to a conference, or even new york for that matter. Good luck to everyone!
Leslie Montenegro
I love the guys over at Carsonfied and have been following them for years! I’ve wanted to go to FOWD forEVER!!!! Mainly because of budget I can’t attend and would love this opportunity!
-Leslie
sean steezy
I would be super stoked to go for hundreds of reasons, I guess mostly to learn as much as I possibly can about the FOWD. I am especially stoked b/c innovation in the web is something my company currently lacks and it would be great to come back and get mad brownie points. thanks for the opportunity!
Steve
I attended last year and saw your demo of the phoenix drawing at last years FOWD conference and was blown away. Would love the chance to go again! Thanks Nick!

I followed it online last year and would love to attend.

Christopher
I’ve never been able to attend any web development conference of any kind. I’ve also never been to NYC, though I’m only a few hours drive from there. I’d love to be able to attend FOWD and hear from some of the leaders in web design and development.
Adam Buter
THIS IS WHY I SHOULD WIN…http://flashplus.co.uk/?p=169

Simply—I’d love to attend this informative and inspiring conference, it would be incredibly useful. I’m here in NYC, so maybe… a little luck might come my way!
Brad
I was laid off earlier this year and have been struggling to find a new job. This would be a great opportunity to brush up on the latest trends and network with other designers and agencies in the NY, NJ and PA region.
Kate Vickers
I would love to go to FOWD! I would love to hear about the latest trends in web design and development and keep connected. As a Web Project Manager, I’m always looking for freelancers to use for upcoming projects, this would be an excellent networking opportunity for me. I’ve never been to NYC and likely won’t get to go anytime soon – unless someone gives me tickets to a major event and I therefore gives me a good excuse. Also, this would be my last big trip before I have a baby in January.
Josh
NYC – let’s go!
Kim
I’ve always wanted to go to fowd! pick me! pick me!
Merary Martinez
I’d love to go to the event since I love the subject, the city and freebies!

Jonathan Christopher
I’d love to go to FOWD because FOWD rocks.

Well, I design websites, and i’m always hoping to learn more about what i do. I reckon this is just about the densest collection of like mined folk i’m likely to find.
benn
I want to make sure this whole “internet” fad is here to stay…
Catherine
Would love to go!!
Cameron Baney
I would love to go to FOWD! I have heard so much about it, but I have yet to attend. It would help take my designs to the next level.
MX
I’m a student, picking up design again after many years as I’m fascinated by the capabilities of new software and boundless limits of creative imagination. Seeing the FOWD would be inspiring and life-changing. Hope to be picked!
Bibi Duran
I would love to get the chance to go to this! I currently work at a leading interactive agency as a project coordinator and would love to go to this to get inspired.
Christelle

Enjoy being a web designer. Learning it keep it even more interesting.

Johnny
I would LOVE to hear from the people who have revolutionized the web! I’ve just begun freelancing and it would truly be an honor. Good luck to everyone. BTW, I never get tired on this design here at WebDesignerWall. It just works!
Karissa Demi
I’ve always wanted to go to this conference. Sounds like it will be informative and awesome!
Greg Greiner
This one’s easy – FOWD is in the top 2 web design conferences in the U.S. along with An Event Apart. I’ve been building web standards compliant sites since 2004 and would love to attend. Thanks for the opportunity!
Jeff Vdovjak
What an awesome opportunity! I’m suppose to be in London, England and then Bangkok Thailand at that time. But if selected I would cancel and/or rebook that event!! Very, very cool giveaway!
Ayaz
Why I want to go?
Because somebody has to go and It has to be me.
Giovanni
Because as you can see by my page, I seriously need to learn how to design better…HAHA!
Ugucan Kutluoglu
I want to go because my company didn’t let me go to the London one..
Marianne Sloan
I started out as a freelance web designer when I was a stay at home mom, with no formal web or graphic design training. I have taught myself everything I know, and now my husband and I support our family with web design. The opportunity to become a part of the larger web design community would ROCK my world!
Jessica
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to attend a FOWD conference and I’m in New York!!

Hmm, why do I want to go???
Awesome content, connect with web design community, venue – new york city, (did I already say awesome content?), inspiration… I’m already sending my developer, but would love to go toooooo!!
Michael Joanisse
I am overwhelmed with excitement to attend this conference.
I cannot come to think of a way of thanking my employer, who has willingly funded me these workshops and conference. Unfortunately, she is unable to make this expense for herself.
I strongly believe that she deserves to be rewarded for all the hard work she does by having the opportunity to finally attend this conference.
Egyptian Papyrus
Hoy I am a designer from Egypt If I win I will give to a friend in US.. Thanks
Ron Rocio
I’m a fourth year college student studying at the College of Saint Benilde taking up Multimedia Arts. I want to go to the conference because web designing is my future. Right now, i took a break from University back in the philippines and is currently in Maryland to observe and learn more on Western Trends on web design. That’s how much i want to learn! Web design is my life and i want to learn as much as possible and by attending that conference, i would really really really get to learn how the big guns do it properly!
(plus, i just need one more conference before i’m allowed to graduate SOO it would really mean alot to me if i can go there!)
Evi
Hi,
after the birth of little Lucie this spring I spend most of my time in the nest. Listening to podcasts, watching old FOWD videos and surfing the web for inspiration, and distraction. Endless hours on twitter and facebook…..Now back from maternity leave I crave to see and talk to fellow web designers again. As wonderful as the web is…nothing beats face to face…or stage to face or…way back there is Paul Boag…OMG!!!
Desmond Y.T. Liang
Thanks for the opportunity. I always wanna go to the FOWD.
Daniel
We have been in business for about a year and 4 months now developing web applications and doing graphic design work, but we are now looking to take things to the next level and learn about new initiatives that are happening in our industry. Funny thing is that I will be in NYC (currently from Toronto) during those days for a wedding anyhow, so it would be a great opportunity to be able to attend and become more involved.
Thanks!
Dan

Maria Kennedy
I’ve been doing online design since 1990. That makes me old but still very eager
to stay current and take my design to the next level. I’d love to go but can’t afford to pay for it!
