After a busy day at work today I was going through my Twitter messages and noticed a tweet from Ryan Carson about his competition to win not only a ticket to all of the 2009 events he organizes, which includes the Future of Web Apps conference I spoke about in my previous post, but also a bag of other goodies such as an invite to a VIP speaker dinner!

Attending the Future of Web Apps, and the other conferences Ryan organizes could well change my life. I believe I have a great product and so much to learn. If I was able to go, I’d be able to learn from people that have failed to those that have become a success

So, you now have a pretty good understanding of why I want to go, now it’s over to you…

I want to buy you a gift

If I win this competition and got the chance to go to London, It would be my pleasure to share my happiness and good fortune and buy a lucky reader a gift from London. All you need to do is leave a comment below and tell me what you want! It’s that simple!

The gift must cost less than $200 (₤100) and the deadline for entries is 1st October. If I win the competition, I’ll put all the entries into a hat (at the conference) and will ask Ryan (If he’s busy I’ll pass the duty onto Mum) to pick a winner.

Thanks, and good luck!

The competition has ended and I didn’t win :( I have decided that I will still reward a prize on my next trip to London :)

hmmm, Well $200 USD is £106.00, I’d be happy with £106.00 personally :D

I’m not exactly sure what they would have, but I wouldn’t mind some cool Shakespeare souvenirs/keepsakes. Oh! Maybe one of those little statues with Hamlet (or Shakespeare himself) holding Yorick’s skull.

I’d love a giant cuddly Zippy toy (from rainbow). That would be awesome.

Cheers, Matt

A £100 gift from London leaves me with many choices but I really don’t want the £100 spent in London.

Can I trade my £100 LOndon gift for a couple of cartons of white tipped Marlboro Lights? If my memory serves me right you stay in Thailand so that should cost you about £15 tops!!!

;-)

Hi Chris,

Great idea, if you win you can spend the $200 on my train fare from Plymouth to London so I can come catch up with you too! (and we can spend the change on beer)

Hi Chris

Take a picture of yours with Ryan Carson while you are in the event, print it on a glossy postcard and Fedex it to my place. Well, that wont cost you £100 but will certainly make my day as i haven’t got anything from overseas ever. So, do consider my entry for the gift too.

Regards
Tajim

1) Thank you for the well wishes on my b-day.
2) I’d take a postcard. I know, you said $200 but I don’t really know what else I’d need. Either way, if you go take lots of pictures. I’ve been to Thailand but never to…well Europe. London sounds like it would be a blast. Best of luck to you!
