We are on a freebie ride and yesterday’s contest (book + Tee) has seen tremendous response.
Continuing with the ride, today we have 3 Headstart event passes to give away.
As you know, Headstart’s summer event is scheduled for June 20th at Nehru Center, Mumbai and while demo pit’s entry is free, Auditorium pit (where the action happens) costs Rs. 750/.
The good news is that we have three passes to give away (i.e. total of Rs. 2,250/) and here are pre-requisites for the contest:
- You need to ensure that you attend the event. It’s happening in Mumbai, 20th June, so participate in the contest only if you are sure of your attendance.
- You will cover the event live for pluGGd.in readers. Think of yourself as a delegate and you have a responsibility to cover the event (no excuses please).
Essentially, what we would really want is for the three winners to share the highlights of the events/startups showcased/insights shared etc. - Contest ends June 13th – so comments only before June 13 will be taken into account.
How do I Participate in the Contest?
Pretty Simple.
Tell us what kind of article themes would you like to see @ pluGGd.in (give us three suggestions atleast).
To set the context, we will take one theme a week and discuss the nitty-gritty of the same. Themes could range from specific technology topic to marketing products, to building great UI design etc (for instance, this week’s theme is - Understanding User Needs).
So go ahead, suggest article themes and win yourself free tickets to Headstart event!
Please note that comments without theme suggestions won’t be accepted.
Three suggestions for articles:
1. How to test usability in web context (is there any existing measurement matrix)
2. Which scripting framework to use for the future (jquery, mootools, django etc)
3. Impact of Google Wave in how communication will happen in the next WEB
Hi Ashish,
I plan to go to Headstart. But haven’t bought my pass yet.
Would love the free pass. But need a clarification: by “cover the event live” you mean take our laptops and live blog? Or cover the event live on twitter?
If you want some one to write about the event – but after the event is over – then let me know. I could do that for you (with or without the free pass.) But I’ve tried live blogging before and didn’t really love doing it. And would rather buy the pass if thats a requirement.
As for article themes, here is what I would like to see more on pluggd.in:
1. More startup founder interviews
2. How founders spend their time – do their networking – get stuff done
3. Offline startups and ventures
4. Views from the other end: what do investors and VCs look for
5. Legal issues for startups (everything from termsheets to taking a co. public)
6. Marketing for startups on a shoestring budget
Ankesh – I didn’t mean live blogging (will update the post as it probably caused some confusion).
I’d basically like people to cover the events – highlights of what happened/insights shared etc.
Thanks for those topic suggestions.!!
Ok – I can do that then.
Are you planning to attend too? Would love to connect with you.
I wont be able to..but would like to meetup with you when’er I get the opportunity. Any plans for Bangalore?
I would like to see more and more entrepreneur and investor interviews.
Hi Ashish,
Stories on:
1. Start ups from smaller cities (IMO they have to realise it the harder way)
2. NGOs & Start ups in renewable energy sector
3. User generated content: usability and challenges
Alright guys – sorry about the delay in announcing.
Here are the free passes results – Ankesh, Lokesh and S K Prasad.
Please contact me via email (ashish at pluggd.in) for more info
