A UI conference would be fabulous!!! It’s the best way to stay up-to-date. I’m tired of purchasing books that are old school 6 months after publishing.

I always like to create my own style websites but never had a professional training like this workshop and I love to attend this workshop where I can boost my skill and learn from the best professionals in this field. Please, select me and it’s my the best goal to achieve.

As a web developer instead of a web designer it would be awesome to attend this conference to get more hands on experience with designing the UI as opposed to just building what the designers tell me to build …

Hmmm, why should I go. I’m a young (18yrs old) designer that needs all the help he can get to become an amazing designer. Plus New York city has got some killer gyros…

Hey, I attended that school. On top of the auditorium, there is a 2-floors library with 100+ Ethernet ports. I wonder any of my friends are still there. It would be great to take a break from my work and attend this event.

This is a great opportunity for a web design noob! I’m trying to expand my understanding of UI, and it’d be a super fun event!

Wow, the format for this show looks amazing. Small, personal and intense, a real materclass experiance. I’m an interactive designer in an exhibition company and I’m constantly pushing my company and clients to improve and invest in better UI for interactive pieces, both online and kiosks. I think this show will be a great experiance and will really enable me to make better products.

I absolutely love programming, but I feel like my graphic work is far behind. This would be fun plus if there’s a chance of meeting you, I’ll get to meet a real ui pro!

I just moved to NYC and am looking for a job as a UI/UX Designer. Why I’m an awesome candidate to go to delve.nyc for free, you may ask?
1) I live in NYC, so my commute will be short.
2) I’m unemployed, so I can’t afford it.
3) I’m unemployed, so I can afford to take the time off.
4) I’ve been in the biz for 10 years, and am always striving to learn more.
5) I’m sick of looking at job sites all day… this will be a much needed break!

Adam Amaral

I just moved to NYC too I guess thats the cool thing to do. But none the less, I’m broke, I love design and I would love to go to Delve.

Living in Brooklyn myself, I’d love to be able to go to DelveUI–but can’t afford the ticket right now (as a student)! The line-up looks amazing–I follow many of the speakers’ blogs. Good luck to whoever wins the tickets, opportunities like these don’t come to often (especially in my backyard).

Awesome news. Why would I like to attend? Because we live in the future, and I would like to help design that future. Why else? Because sharing some thoughts from other passionate designers is the way the web (and the world) gets better. What’s more, this is the first year of delve, and the folks eager to attend assuredly share that same spark for new things and innovative ideas. Lastly, the speaker list is comprised of some of my favorite folks. Thanks, and I hope to make the cut!

Jose Burgos Jr.
Jul 26, 2009 at 11:12 pm

Hmm… Plenty of reasons why I would like to attend and win a pair of tickets~ But the most important would be that I’m just out of College and I am in the works of building a blog / portfolio type cms. If I won this would be a great place to extend my skills.

Burt Brumme
Jul 26, 2009 at 11:45 pm

Why would I like to go? Cuz I’m just a squirrel/interface designer, trying to get a nut/raise my rate and put out something that I”m proud of. This looks like a good opportunity to expedite those goals. Also, NY is the shiz. Tks for the ticket if I win, and tks for the great site even if I don’t.

As a web design and developer by choice Delve:UI would be an excelent experience for me to attend! I can not wait to go. ;’)

Thanks for the opportunity!

I’m an interactive production artist, one of a two person department at a decent sized agency. We’re the grunts, we get the work done and no one really understands how much is involved with making their website and banners ready to rock.

Lately, I’ve had to take on a bit of UI design due to some “economic shifting”. I’d love to attend this event in hopes of garnering a bit of professional wisdom. I could, quite frankly, use the guidance. It would be absolutely incredible to sit in while the folk at Delve/UI talk about all they’ve learned over the years.

The most important part about good design is creating a good experience for the user. I’d love to hear industry leaders speak out on the subject matter.

I love the format and you have some awesome speakers lined up. I wold really love to go but money is tight tight now. Please, please, please pick me. This clearly isn’t a “fluffy” conference, but rather the type where you actually learn… a lot! Thanks for making some tickets available. Even if I’m not lucky enough to be picked, I think it’s a true service to the developer community. Thanks!!

I’m a free-lancer and although I’m strong in development I could definitely benefit from some UI improvements. This conference looks like it would be great to help me take the next step for learning how to better develop UI for my clients.

Holly cow, why would I? Why wouldn’t I? I have not had many opportunities to in my life to learn from many great UX/UI designers who have become before me and this would be a great opportunity to help both myself grow as a UX/UI designer as well as help me take the social network I am the designer for to the next level.

Thank you so much for offering up these… you are going to make 5 people really happy. I am just hoping one of those people will be me! :-)

I am starting to sound like a 14 year old teenager trying to win a pair of New Kids on the Block concert ticket? Yes, yes I am… damm… I will shut up now :-(.

Wow, this would be so crucial for me sense I just got promoted to a full time design position at work instead of doing sysadmin stuff.

Moving back into design and web publishing from years of other tech pursuits, to start my own web publishing & design business. I gotz2delve because I want to take my basic understanding of the concepts, methodologies, platforms, and technologies to the next level, and pending the smile of fortune upon me, like a sponge left in the kitchen sink, I shall delve, soak up, and create.

This sounds great! I’d love to attend a conference with such forward thinking professionals. The material being covered can really help a designer like myself to gain a firm grasp on where web design is right now and where it is heading in the future. A conference like this greatly benefits the designer/ developer as well as their client. Pick me please!

Kevin May

Hi Nick La, it’s a great opportunity to meet experts and have a cool learning time with them. I am doing the computer programming(two years) at El Paso Community College as a International Student and to me this could be a great chance to have a better knowledge in this background. I am Taekwondo Instructor but you know, I want to be good web developer. I hope to have your consideration and be a lucky gay jejeje…Thank you
