Visual Studio Live! Las Vegas Giveaway

Posted by Brendan Tompkins on March 21, 2011

As a thank you for continuing to help support CodeBetter.Com/Devlicio.us and our community of friends here, we’ve arranged (thanks to the generous support from Visual Studio Live!) to give away one conference pass to Visual Studio Live! in Las Vegas (April 18-22, 2011 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino)

The value of the pass we’re giving you to for a giveaway is $1,895.  It’s a 5-day package that includes the following:

  • All Visual Studio Live! Sessions and Keynotes
  • Pre-conference workshops
  • Post-conference workshops
  • Reception
  • Networking Events
  • Lunch (April 18-22)
  • Coffee and Morning Pastries
  • Laptop Computer Bag
  • T-shirt with Completed Survey
  • Proceedings CD of all course notes and sample code

On top of the attendance covered, we’re going to give the winner $500 to help offset travel and hotel costs and throw in some CodeBetter.com/Devlicio.us schwag to giveaway to boot!

What do I have to do to enter?

Not much!  All you need to do is comment/trackback/tweet this and you’re eligible.  We’ll pick a winner and announce the final recipient this Thursday March 24th at 12:00 EST.

Good luck, and again thanks for all of the support!
