Enter to Win a Scholarship to the Healthcare Experience Design Conference!

Amy Cueva - February 14th 2012

With all of the cards, heart candy, and smell of flowers in the air; we found ourselves day dreaming of dances, texting to friends in lecture halls, and remembering what it was like to learn about cutting edge strategies in College.

We also remember how expensive it can be being a college student, so on this day of sweet love we decided to extend a scholarship to College students to earn the opportunity to attend the Healthcare Experience Design Conference for free!

Between 2/14 and 2/22 all you have to do is:

Write 250-350 word essay describing a hospital waiting room in the year 2020

Have the subject line for the essay be “The waiting room of 2020”

Email the essay to the conference Chair Amy Cueva and to Ned Wheeler.

Tweet to us telling us that you have submitted your essay using the hashtags #hxdconf and #thefrontierproject

You must be able to show us proof that you are currently enrolled in a University/College

The winner will be chosen Wednesday (2/22) at 12:00 pm (ET).

Good luck!

Damn you Mad*Pow! Now I am forced to violate my moral opposition to Twitter by creating an account. Then again, free stuff trump morals any day. On behalf of all students, I kindly request that those who do not win the contest either get: a) a small break on the fee, or b) super-shiny attendee badges that put all others to shame ...or a job if it's not too much trouble :-)
