The crowd erupts at Adobe MAX 2014 when Microsoft gives every attendee a new Surface Pro.
[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]
MAX 2015 – the big annual conference intersecting creativity and Adobe technology – is coming up this fall in Los Angeles, California… And continuing our long tradition of free Adobe giveaways, we’ve got one free regular full conference pass (worth US$1,595) to give away, plus one US$400-off ticket savings, both courtesy of our friends at Adobe Systems!
Adobe MAX 2015, The Creativity Conference – running from October 3–7 – will be chock full of expert keynotes and presentations, technical sessions and talks, product announcements and sneak peeks, evening events and get-togethers, and possibly some surprises… The show is an amazing experience where they really take care of you from start to finish while you soak up all the growth and learning you can.
[UPDATE – Watch the Adobe MAX 2015 Keynotes live or on-demand!]
In fact, most of the best how-to and tutorial sessions from the last MAX were recorded and are still available on-demand for free viewing, covering all Adobe applications.
As their website puts it, “MAX is a gathering of 5,500 like-minded creatives who are as passionate about their work as you are. MAX is inspirational and iconic speakers; hands-on labs; time-saving tips and techniques; sneak peeks at new technologies; and strategies for delivering your best creative work. MAX is not to be missed.”
Now back to our giveaway: We’ll be awarding one free regular full conference pass to the grand prize winner (retail value US$1,595), and one pass at a US$400 savings to the runner-up. Any travel and lodging arrangements are the responsibility of the winners.
However, if you’d like to travel to California for free this year (or anywhere actually), then we’ve got another great deal for you: sign up for a new credit card like this one and you can now receive 40,000 bonus frequent flyer miles – which is more than enough for a free roundtrip flight ticket anywhere within North America (using a Saver Award on United Airlines)… And the annual fee is $0 for the first year.

Superb!
I’d love to have some focused training time for After Effects and Audition.
I would like to be amongst the most and talented creative people in the world. Exchanging the latest tips and knowledge on the creative site and also to apply it on my day-to-day life.
I’d like to learn more of the post-production workflow of Audition, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Story, and Photoshop and also learn every trick from the geniuses at Adobe. I’ve been to Adobe Max before for Photoshop and it was astonishing. I’d love to see more and as an editor I’d love to learn more.
I never met a freebie I didn’t like. Let’s go to CAli
get away from my desk and get inspired!
I am living with a disability and using my substantial free time to learn a skill I can use to bring in a supplemental income. I would really love the chance to attend something within this industry to become exposed to more of the culture associated with design.
I’m a Graphic Design student currently and would relish the opportunity to attend such an event.
I would so love to go to Adobe MAX – I’ve never been before, & the sessions, labs and creativity workshops would be a huge help in increasing & honing my skills in a very competitive field – not to mention being able to meet so many creative people all in one place!
Wow! Adobe MAX! I can only dream about attending an event such as that! I would love to be able to say that I did though!
I would love to attend. Thanks
I have never been to Adobe MAX before but judging by the quality of Adobe workshops I’ve attended so far; this will be an absolute stellar! I have just recently upgraded from CS 6 to the CC photography plan and this will be a fantastic opportunity to engage with what the latest creative cloud has to offer as well as network with industry leaders, fellow creative colleagues and manufacturing reps.
I have never been to Adobe MAX but would love to go because I feel the need to change up some of the things I do here at NECA and since I am just getting more into the software end of things Adobe might be the perfect place to start.
I’ve never been but it sounds like an amazing learning opportunity!
Being an IT engineering student is a challenge in a third world country, because that means that you do not have the same opportunities to learn as the rest of the modern world to which comes with freshly-made technologies and means of learning. Hence it would be a life opportunity for such a student like me who is fond of graphics design and who had never the opportunity to see its “real” world and assist a “real” professional graphists’ event in which I could represent my rising country and exchange knowledge with the rest of the world. it is really a life opportunity for me!
>Been my dream to attend
I have never used any adobe software but I really want to know what the Conference is about, maybe I can learn about adobe products and buy one if my needs are fulfilled
Hi,
I am a musician and a visual art student in Chicago. I’ve began to learn the entire adobe suite in order to bridge my love for motion graphics and audio reactive visuals. If I were able to attend the Adobe Max conference, this would truly be a dream come true!
Leading a software product documentation and training team, my association with the Adobe family commenced with acquiring Adobe Acrobat Pro and later on Photoshop. With e learning introduced in my portfolio of responsibilities, we had chosen to get Adobe Captivate as opposed to Articulate Storyline, which we had initially used to create e-learning content. Adobe’s professionalism in handling queries has come to my rescue at many a critical juncture.
Taking this relationship a step further, we are now looking at partnering with Adobe for Captivate Prime.
Being part of Adobe MAX would be a dream come true! Getting connected with with a wide network, taking advantage of the learning experience, and sharing all that with my organisation and our clients is by no means a mean achievement!
Going to Adobe MAX, I’d like to carve the way of creating an Adobe Cloud Service for System Specification, Design and Implementation of the systems – the CASE Tool Kit for Domain-specific CASE creation, based on new Hyper Text PDF (HPDF) format introduction” (fusion of Computer Aided Software Engineering, HPDF and Method of imperative programming for visual paradigm “Executable Pictograms”).
A truly Total And Immersive life-altering and Stimulating Event is what I believe attending Adobe MAX would undoubtedly be … In due time for a major course Correction !

Adobe + ProDesignTools = An awesome choice. Thank you :-)
I am an Adobe disciple and cringe anytime anyone mentions any of those MS programs. Please send me so I have more ammunition in my effort to convert everyone to Adobe products!
