We have 24 free tickets up for grabs for the Brand New Conference in Chicago, IL, on September 14 – 15. Read on for details. (Also: no posts today as I am driving a few hours to the eclipse’s path of totality.)

42 free, confirmed tickets come courtesy of our following sponsors:

Hoefler & Co. (8 tickets)
Studio on Fire (6 tickets)
Degreed (2 tickets)
Type Supply (4 tickets)
Commercial (4 tickets)
SVA Masters in Branding (4 tickets)
Frere-Jones Type (8 tickets)
MOO (6 tickets)

As you can see, some sponsors have yet to confirm but we will know by end of day tomorrow. So we will pull 28 names for those TBDs; if those tickets do not become available, these names will be first in the waitlist.

Rules

1) ENTER YOUR NAME AND EMAIL IN THIS FORM.

2) You have until Tuesday, August 22 at 9:00 PM Eastern Time to leave your name and email in the form.

3) We will put all the names in a bag, shuffle ’em and pull out 24 winners for the confirmed tickets, 28 for the TBDs, (plus 20 for wait-list). We will record and post the video for authenticity.

4) Winners will be announced Wednesday afternon in the comments below and by email.

5) Only submit your name if you are clear to attend the conference on Thursday and Friday, September 14 and 15; do not take away someone else’s chance to attend. This is an issue every year and it’s extremely time-consuming and annoying.

6) Travel and accommodations are your responsibility.

7) People who have already registered for an in-person ticket (as opposed to a webcast) are not eligible.

8) Winners must register online by 11:59 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, August 24, 2017. If not, the tickets will start going to those on the wait list.

General Reminder

The last day to register online will be Thursday, September 7. You will have all day and all night to do so. This applies for both in-person tickets and webcast registrations. No exceptions.

Update August 22 @ 9:00 pm ET

No more names will be included in the drawing. The form is now closed. We will announce the winners tomorrow morning.

Update August 23 @ 12:00 pm ET

Here are the winners. Please look for an e-mail from me with instructions in the next hour. Gmail users, please check your “Promotions” tab as this is coming via our email campaign system (MailChimp!). IF YOU SEE YOUR NAME BELOW AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY EMAIL, e-mail me at armin@underconsideration.com

Remember: Winners must register online by Friday, August 25 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. If not, we will pass your ticket to the next person in the waitlist.
