Tweet out and share a short code enough times and you could win a free 5-night stay at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers – right in the heart of Manhattan – during Web 2.0 Expo New York 2011.
And on top of this, you’ll also be able to earn a heavily discounted or free conference pass to the premier event for the builders of the next generation web. Read on for details! Continue Reading »
Leverage your social media popularity to get a heavily discounted or free full conference pass to Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco 2011. Read on to see how.
Here’s the Deal
“Use discount code [INSERT YOUR CODE] for 20% off a Web 2.0 Expo SF conference pass—discount ends March 18! #w2e http://oreil.ly/eK3hPu”
Tweet this sentence to enough of your friends, and you could earn a deeply discounted or free full-price Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco conference pass. Every time someone buys a conference pass using your personalized discount code (which we will send you—read on), you get an additional 10% off the cost of a full-price pass. That’s on top of the 20% discount we will give you for participating.
Here’s How to Play
Sign up for the contest at the bottom of this post (scroll down, please!). All we need is your name and an email address to send you a personalized code. Space fills up fast and is limited to the first 100 people who apply.
Tweet the discount code we give you to your followers so they can sign up using it.
Kick back and let us do the rest of the work. We’ll contact you on March 21 to tell you how many people signed up using your code… and also to tell you how much money will be shaved off your conference pass.
If you already have a conference pass, you’re still more than welcome to participate. Although the credits you accrue will not work toward the pass you already purchased (retroactively that is), you will be able to earn another deeply discounted or fully paid-for pass for a friend or colleague.
You can also use your credits toward Web 2.0 Expo New York 2011. One last thing—although we think Twitter is the easiest way for you to spread this deal, there is no restriction as to where you can post your code! Feel free to email your friends or post it on your Facebook account.
We are limiting this contest to the first 100 people who apply – so hurry! The discount code you are given will only work through March 18, so the sooner you start spreading the word the better.
Post any questions in the blog comments section or message us @w2e on Twitter.
Good luck!

I’m a fangirl. I admit it. Icanhascheezburger is my homepage. Why? Because it’s hilarious. LOLOLOLOL!
So during an afternoon brainstorm session the team here thought it might be fun to see what LOLspeak our community would be able to come up with for some of our photos…
We created an album on Facebook and we’re offering the person with the best caption complimentary 3 nights hotel stay in San Francisco during Web 2.0 Expo.
Contest Outline:
1. Select one of the photos provided in this album
Update: If you’ve already registered for the conference we can’t back-apply the 40% discount. However, you can share it with a friend. If you’ve registered for an Expo Pass, please use the discount for any upgrades. Thanks!
What’ll be Web 2.0 Expo’s community surprise this week?
Well, we’ll be running a series of Twitter contests so keep an eye (or feed) open for our questions. We’re theming our first set of questions on the fabulous roster of speakers we’ve got lined up for Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco this spring.
So to start, if you can guess the answer to this question, @w2e or DM us with your answer and you’ll get a DM back with the registration code for 40% off.
Q. Who could once whistle at the exact pitch of a 1200 baud modem?
