Conference registration started yesterday, but already our chapters and SIGs are jumping on board to help promote the Summit! The Rocky Mountain Chapter is giving away a free conference registration to one lucky member, promoting both conference attendance and membership renewal in one fell swoop, as entrants must renew and join the RMC in order to be eligible. The chapter purchased the registration themselves in order to give it away, so thanks to the chapter leadership for their thinking on this!
Below is the text of their email for any other community that would like to “borrow” the idea and offer the same contest for their members. Thanks again to STC RMC for sharing this great suggestion!
