I'm attending the Inbound Marketing Summit September 8th in Cambridge, MA, listening to the likes of Seth Godin, David Meerman Scott, Greg Verdino, Chris Brogan, Christopher S. Penn, Mike Volpe, and many others. And, as it happens, there may be something in it for you.
My friends at HubSpot are offering TWO extra tickets for MarketingProfs to give away, meaning that two of you can attend the $695 event for free. Nada. Gratis. On the house. In other words, you can be at the Inbound Marketing Summit free of charge, courtesy of HubSpot. See the full event agenda here.
Fine print: Actually, there's no catch. But winning doesn't include travel to Boston or hotel. If you aren't local, you'll need to foot that bill yourself. And no, you can't stay with me. But I'll happily meet up for coffee at some point, ok?
Wanna attend? Here’s how to enter: Please enter your information below, as a comment. (Please don't email me -- I get enough of that already.) I'll toss all of your names in a hat and pick two of you to receive the free passes.
Post your name and a way to contact you via email by next Monday, August 18, 2008 – be sure to include a working email address! I'll post the winner here next week but will also reach out to you directly.
It promises to be a good event, so what do you have to lose? I'll look forward to meeting you (or seeing you) in September!

With apologizes to Dave Loggins...
"And she said, hey ramblin' boy, why don't you settle down,
Cambridge is your kind of town;
There is a free pass and it comes via Ann's courtesy,
Cause she's the number one fan of the man from Mississippi." (er, Louisiana)

This has all the potential to be a great opportunity. I wonder if the chances are better to win the lottery or to win this. Either way a cool concept for marketing. Thanks.

This was a very painful exercise... given that I have so many friends on this list. I wish I could give every single one of you a pass... I hate disappointing people THAT much.
But here's the good news: After the overwhelming response here, our friends are Hubspot generously offered me TWO more tickets, allowing me to pick four (rather than two) winners. Hubspot - you rock!
The results have been randomly drawn by my 11-year-old (and certified by Deloitte & Touche), and here we go. The winners are:
1. Adam Fullerton
2. Ann Kingman
3. Stacey (from BPInstitute)
4. Nicholas Tolson
And to everyone -- my sincere thanks for stopping by.
Posted by: Ann Handley | 08.22.08
Wow!! Thank you so much for this oppt'y, Ann, MarketingProfs, and Hubspot. I look forward to meeting everyone there.
