[UPDATE – Also see our new Holiday Creative Cloud 2024 Giveaway!]
MAX 2016 – the big annual conference intersecting creativity and Adobe technology – is coming up this fall in San Diego, 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 2016, The Creativity Conference – running from November 2-4 – will be chock full of expert keynotes and presentations, technical and how-to sessions, product announcements and sneak peeks, evening events and parties, networking and meeting the teams, 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.
In fact, many of the best courses 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 9,000 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.”
And right now there’s Early Bird Pricing available for MAX with tickets offered at US$300 off until August 19th, or US$500 off for new Creative Cloud customers.
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 50,000 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.

@ProDesignTools
Will ProDesignTools have a booth at MAX? Would love to touch base with y’all if you are around.
I would love to attend this conference. I have never been to one before and this would be a great opportunity for me to learn about Adobe products, meet professionals in the industry, and network. I am a student and am still learning Graphic Design and Web Design. I’m trying to find my direction and gain experience and skills. Winning this contest would be the only way to make this possible.
