Yep, you read it right! Best Practices Conference, in conjunction with EndUserSharePoint.com and Bamboo Nation, is giving away $10,000 worth of full access, conference passes.
So what's the catch?
Best Practices Conference is trying to build an email list of people who might be interested in the conference. We figured the best way to do that was to ask you who would like to go. Here's how it works... Tell your friends to come to this page to register to be on the email list for the conference. Make sure they put your email address as the referrer. If you are one of the top ten referrers, Best Practices Conference will "thank you" with a full access pass to the conference.
Here's Best Practices Conference's promise to you: this is not a spam list. Your name and your friend's name will not be sold, it will not be given to third party vendors, we won't bombard you with unnecessary email. This is our way to stay in touch with people interested in our conference, period.
If you're comfortable with that, please tell your friends to come and sign up, putting YOUR email address as the referrer. Start right now by registering yourself, putting yourself as the referrer! That way, you'll have at least one entry. Entries must be made before 11:55pm EST, Friday, July 24th.
Play fair! Duplicate entries will be automatically eliminated. Good luck. We look forward to seeing you at the conference in August.
For those who like to be lazy, cut and paste this message to your friends:
"Hi. I'm trying to win a free pass to the Best Practices Conference in Washington, D.C. and I need your help. Please go here: http://bpc-passgiveaway.eventbrite.com/ and register to be on the email list for notices about the conference. If you put my name in as the referrer and I win, I'll buy you a beer when I get back from the conference. Thanks."

John Anderson joined Bamboo Solutions as Manager of Content & Syndication in May 2008 after a 12-year career at AOL. New to SharePoint at the time of his hiring, John was tasked with creating a new blog for the just-launched Bamboo Nation community in which he would document his daily SharePoint learning process. Thus was born the end user-centric SharePoint Blank, for which John authored 200 posts within a year, and which he continues to write today. Today, John writes SharePoint Blank in addition to his responsibilities as Managing Editor at Bamboo and, while he learned much about SharePoint in his first two years, he gleefully celebrates the release of SharePoint 2010 and the reset button that the new platform represents for SharePoint Blank.
