    Get New Clients, More Money

I love print design; many of you reading this do, too. But there's no denying that if you work only in print, you're turning your back on a potentially huge pool of money.

To help you tap into that pool, the creators of HOW magazine are debuting the HOW Interactive Design Conference. It's tailored to people who want to build on what they already know, not start from scratch. The conference will be in San Francisco on November 2, 3, and 4.

Conference passes costs $1,095, but you can get in for free if your name is chosen in our new giveaway. For your chance at winning the pass, click here to enter the giveaway.
