In a not-so-subtle ploy to get you to subscribe to our brand new mailing list, Rosenfeld Media is raffling off a seat at the IA Institute's IDEA conference (Chicago, USA; October 7-8), a US$550 value. This year's event, of which we're a proud sponsor, includes such honchos as David Armano, Jason Fried, and Jesse James Garrett.

To be eligible for the raffle, subscribe to our list by 9am ET September 29.

The list postings will be exactly the same as our announcements feed's content: infrequent, irregular, and brief notices about new books, discounts, author events, and a few other tidbits. We just thought it might be nice to provide an alternative (and hopefully more viral) way to keep up with Rosenfeld Media.

Updated, October 3: We have a winner: Madhura Chavan, an MDes student at the IIT Institute of Design. Enjoy IDEA, Madhura!

Rosenfeld Media's authors are insane; they take breathers from pounding out their prose to speak all over the planet. The remainder of our 2008 events calendar includes appearances in Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, India, Italy, Turkey, and all across the USA. It also includes discounts for Luke Wroblewski's talk at UIE 13 and Indi Young's talk for Key Forums and at Design Research 2008.
