Original Post:
The kind folks at New Rider have offered FYC readers a chance at a free pass to their upcoming Voices that Matter: Web Design 2010 conference!
What’s this conference all about? In their own words:

New Riders’ Voices That Matter: Web Design Conference, now in its fourth consecutive year, will take place June 28-29 in San Francisco and the timing couldn’t be better! Web design is undergoing an historic transformation: while the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript haven’t changed, the new and evolving functionality in the HTML5 and CSS3 specs, the number of new ways in which people access the Web, and the rise of social media mean that Web designers need to know more than ever.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet face-to-face with industry greats and discuss Web design’s most critical topics! We’ll open with a keynote address from Jesse James Garrett, author of The Elements of User Experience: User-Centered Design for the Web and close with a keynote address delivered by Steve Krug, author of the well known book Don’t Make Me Think and the brand new book Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems. From start to finish this conference will blow you away.
Enter to win a free pass (a $595 value) to the conference by commenting on this post (just say anything you like!) and we’ll pick one lucky commenter at random one week from today (Friday, May 14th)!
Bonus: Special Savings
All FYC readers can save $150 off the conference fee by providing priority code WBNBLGA when registering. Register before May 14th and save $250 as this $100 discount is combined with the early bird pricing!

I’m desperate to learn from such prestigious industry veterans, but don’t have the extra cash to self-fund the journey. I’m passionate about best practice in design and want to grow to the point where I can responsibly use my work to reach a global audience. Please consider my entry, thank you!
