Preparations for Webjam 3 have been rolling along a rapid pace and things are shaping up to be absolutely killer. We've got a couple of announcements for you, but first, if you haven't registered to attend this event, do it now! We're nearly out of places
Some of our best presentations so far (out of an amazing 46) have been hurled together at the last minute, fired by the inspiration of a deadline. So, we're still open for applications, because, well... because we can! Sign up soon to be part of the best cutting-edge webfest yet
Goodies for everybody
The Webjam team have been talking to some very cool people about arranging our typical little something-something for those who can make it on the night. So here's the deal:
Stephen Collins of acidlabs.org is providing copies of Cubicle Commando, autographed by one of the authors, Zern Liew for random members of the SMS voting audience
Brilliant local conference, Web Directions, is once again sponsoring our twin habits of geekdom and partying and offering a free ticket to the conference for the second placed presentation. Check out those speakers and understand what a totally cool prize this is anybody interested in making red hot web
Adobe have become our new best friends by offering the first prize - a copy of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium goes to the winner on the night! For those who aren't immediately clear on what that means, the winner gets Dreamweaver CS3, Flash CS3 Professional, Photoshop CS3 Extended, Illustrator CS3, Fireworks CS3, Acrobat 8 Professional, Contribute CS3, Bridge CS3, Version Cue CS3, and Device Central CS3. I'm not quite sure what the last 3 do, but the first 6 are certainly worth fighting for!
I'm also pretty sure Adobe are going to become all of your new best friends too. They're shouting free drinks for the first 20 minutes of the night. That's right, Adobe are going to pay for you to quench your post-work thirst and set you up for the perfect night of webby geek partying. So make sure you've registered and be at the Jam Bar, Level 4, CBD Hotel on Thursday June 7th. Presentations don't start until 6.30, but we couldn't bear the thought of you missing the free drinks. Bar opens at 6pm and so does the bar tab!
See you there!
PS If anyone is thinking maybe they've changed their minds about presenting now that they've seen the prizes, here's where you register ;)
