Check out these two ways to get a free pass to Impact 2012 from the Global WebSphere Community.

First, vote in the GWC Button Slogan Contest. We received a wonderful list of suggested slogans from our members, and now it’s your turn to determine which two slogans will be made into buttons and given away at Impact 2012. Everyone who votes is entered into a drawing for one complimentary Impact 2012 registration. Vote now!

Second, submit an Unconference topic and blog about it on the GWC site. Submit your Unconference topic and then blog about your idea on the GWC site between February 1 and February 29, 2012 to be entered into a drawing to win one of two complimentary passes to Impact 2012. GWC Members who blog on the GWC site about their Unconference submission during February also receive 100 GWC Member Rewards bonus points. Each quarter, the GWC gives its top contributors no charge online IBM WebSphere Education as a reward for adding valuable content to the community. Blog about your Unconference idea, and you could win too. Get instruction on how to blog on the GWC site or read more about the Unconference.

Employees of IBM; UCG; and national, state, or local governments of any country are not eligible to win GWC sponsored prizes.
