That’s right. I’m giving away
1 FREE CATALYST EVENT & LAB TICKET!!

This is my biggest and most exciting giveaway yet on my blog. Not only because of the value (you would spend over $400 to register as an individual right now) but because this is hands-down the most awesome leadership event of the year. And yes, it’s an event. To call it a conference would sell it seriously short.

I’ll be writing more about why I’m so passionate about Catalyst over the next couple days but believe me when I say, you want to win these tickets! Catalyst will be in Atlanta October 9-10 this year with the Labs taking place the day before on October 8.

CONTEST DETAILS:

  1. Only 1 entry per person
  2. The winner will receive 1 individual event ticket ($289 value) and 1 Lab Ticket ($119 value)
  3. Please don’t enter if you already have your tickets. If you know someone else who wants to go, tell them about the giveaway and let them enter.
  4. Please make sure you’ll actually be able to go before entering
  5. The contest winner is responsible for their own transportation and lodging

To enter simply leave a comment below with your full name. The winner will be selected at random and announced Monday, September 15. If you’re already going but know someone who isn’t be sure to tell them about this giveaway and send them here to enter.

Good luck!

    Right now I am the only “eligible” contestant as you said to give your “full” name. Everyone else should be disqualified. I know, I know its an unfair world :)

    Not going due to finances, but would drop everything in a heartbeat and drive up there if I had a golden ticket.

    Thank you Jason for the extra entry! ;)

    It looks like I have started a new trend…either that or everyone’s worried about breaking the rules and being disqualified like all of those names above me.
    That’s true leadership…I would fit in at the Catalyst Event quite nicely.

    Danny “?” Eiler

    I don’t ever put my middle name on anything, but if you gave me this ticket, I would tell everyone on this blog.

    Come on, you know that you wanna know ……

  17. Nick on September 11th, 2008 1:49 pm

    Yeah we would love to know Danny, but you broke the rules and now you are disqualified!

    Brad is not a god of Grace, he is a religious god and there are rules that you have to follow to get the much coveted tickets to the catalyst event (Those rules explicitly said “Full Name”). Now go say 3,548 Hail Mary’s and come back and re-enter with your middle name, if you want to enter. Wow!!! The level some of you will stoop to, what is this world coming too? :)

    @Nick - you’re too funny dude. I’ll have to make you my official blog comment moderator. :-)

    Nick Asolas, I forgive you for posting such a horrific lie. Being a Tennessee Titans fan, this has been a rough couple weeks for you… and you shouldn’t be held accountable for your mental state.

    I’d love to go, but how would that look if you picked a relative? :) Your comment moderators would call foul. And that would be no good.

    Ah well.
