FOWD NYC… one day countdown begins!
FOWD NYC 08 is finally here….well nearly! As one of the newest members of the Carsonified team, i have been a busy bee getting ready for my first event as a fellow Carsonite!
Myself and the team have been preparing to bring you some of the top names in the design world and you won’t be disappointed. I can honestly say we’ve got some top speakers for you with more to come over the next few months…. It will be well worth the wait when FOWD arrives in November :)
So get ready for the launch tomorrow…that’s Thursday 24th July at 5pm (UK time). Tickets sold out really quickly last time so make sure you are the first to get yours when registration opens. Early Bird tickets are available until September 18th where you can get an amazing £100 off!
As you will soon see from the brand newly designed Future of Web Design site (thanks Mike) – this year we will be at the Roseland Ballroom which is in New York’s theatre district. It’s a really cool venue and a bit different from your run of the mill conference center (not that there’s anything wrong with conference centers:)
Unfortunately, for those of you that enjoy your ballroom dancing, there isn’t anything planned yet…but you are more than welcome to get your groove on at the after show party which from what i’ve been told, are always a blast!
Lots more to do before the launch tomorrow so adios for now.

Really looking to come to this years event, as always it will be amazing i am sure!
The only problem, justifying to my girlfriend the money for the trip lol! I’ll have to take her shopping to sweeten her up seen as it is in New York!
Also loving the new themes to the FOWD/FOWA etc that Mike has designed!

Hey Leigh,
Hope you can make it – it’s going to be a blast. Tempting the girlfriend with NYC shopping is always a sure bet ;)

Louise, hope you’ll take this the right way, but I thought I’d point out to you that when in plural, words don’t need apostrophe:
center’s
Lot’s
The apostrophe + ’s’ in these cases would normally signify a possessive form.
I guess it’s not like people can’t understand what you mean but still it might be somewhat of a pet peeve for some.
You can totally delete my comment, I just thought you’d appreciate some feedback.
