[UPDATE – Also see our all-new Creative Cloud 2021 Giveaway!]
MAX 2014 – 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$1,495) to give away, plus one US$400-off ticket savings, both courtesy of our friends at Adobe Systems!
Adobe MAX 2014, The Creativity Conference – running from October 4-8 – 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.
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 5,000 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.”

Have heard terrific things about the event over the years, and would really really love to go for the first time!
Thank you so much for the opportunity.
Past MAX’ have been so enlightening! So many expert sessions, it’s always challenging to choose between them. Great to connect with friends in the Adobe community.
I’ve never attended the event before. It would be interesting to participate in some of the sessions on Illustrator and After Effects technologies.
This is what I need to get me jumpstarted to the next level.
I am really jamming to up my game on portrait creation for Women of a Certain Age and feel I’m ready to move on to more advanced techniques.
I want to learn new ways to add elements of creativity to my own art work.
MAX is pretty amazing. Just pretty pricey. It’s an amazing show if you’re a creative, you need to be in LA in October!
I love Adobe products, and I love supporting Adobe events.
I would love to attend because I want to meet more Adobe community leaders.
Quero aprender novos métodos para exercitar a minha criatividade.
I have alway wanted to attend but the cost has limited my visits. Thank you!
It’s a great place to network… in fact taking it to another level.
I have heard that it’s a must attend event and all designers need to go at least once in their life. It’s my turn now. ;-)
i have never been
never could afford it
this is the reasion i would wish to win
my expectations: to never stop learning and always find new ideas for my everyday creations.
Thank you for offering this opportunity…. To win access to the pros and the pro tools…
It would be wonderful to be surrounded by other creatives who understand what I do.
I’ve attended MAX three times in LA and love it! It’s a jam packed three + days of inspiration, creativity, and development!!
Little Flo, photoshop’s sweetheart and all designers’ beloved Cinderella.
I was just so close so close so close at least once in my lifetime to bring my enthusiasm to LA, had the most beautiful gown and crystal shoes from former events, but that time the 3 mean sisters broke one of my shoes and left me home.
Would you help Cinderella get her nice gown to the ball this year? Since you see, all princesses and princes are going to be there, and I have that other shoe still waiting… It has to go back home…will the 3 mean sisters win again or will this help Cinderella make it to the event this year?
As a new instructor, it would be a great opportunity for me to meet other professionals in my field.
I’ve never been, but have always wanted.
Also if it sweetens my chances to win, here are some of my talents:
1. One time I ate an entire penguin.
2. Able to turn stoplights green simply by staring at them for 2-5 minutes.
3. I’m super into shirk rays.
4. I have a great sense of humor.
5. I’m totally modest.
I’ve never been to Adobe MAX before but would jump at the chance to attend this exciting conference this year!
The tools change so much every year that it’s challenging to keep up with the latest updates.
Thank you for this tremendous learning and networking opportunity!
I strive for the moments of being surrounded by other creatives which boost my energy level, Abode Max might help there ;) , and the opportunity to get an injection of techniques and knowledge for my everyday approaches to creation. It’s just fun to hang around other creatives!!!
Seems like an awesome conference. I’d love to learn lightroom first hand from the experts.
I would love the chance to network with fellow creatives and get up to speed on all the new CC 2014 features.
We are using the CC for Teams and I’d love to know more about how we can utilize the Creative Cloud as a more cohesive environment.
Thanks for the contest!
As I am changing my profession, Adobe products will be part of the keys to my success.
Adobe Max could help me kick start the learning process. :)
Would love to attend MAX. I am a huge Adobe lover and if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t be able to have a profession. Max would be a great chance to learn more and meet industry professionals as I am just starting my career.
Would love to go to MAX as I have always been too busy & I am a lover of Adobe apps for more than 20 years now!
