For people like me opportunities to go to the large professional developer conferences in the US never materialises. However the Microsoft SharePoint team are this time offering one lucky person a break: simply redesign the SharePoint conference 2009 homepage and win yourself a free ticket to the October event.
The competition is open for one month and the more details can be found here: http://www.mssharepointconference.com/Pages/WebsiteReDesignContest.aspx
For the rest of us who fall more into the creatively challenged group, and unfortunately won't be attending the event ensure you are following the conference on Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/SPConf), as the agenda is surely set to be full of SharePoint 2010 goodness. So to all who can – go forth and design..!
