As a freelancer trying hard to launch my own startup – with a mobile version expected later this year – it’s difficult to afford this kind of conferences, but If I were able to go I could make good use of it

Lame answer: I can rarely afford to go to such events, so a free ticket would allow me to do so.

Because I’ve submitted a talk and they didn’t accepted it. Now I’m §$%§$%.

Let me be the chosen one (sic!) please. Why? Because i live in 2 min. walking distance from Station Berlin building (totally impressed that nextconference is happening in my quiet but central neighbourhood for the first time) and would massively tweet and update my FB Fanpage etc. from next10.

We’re a bootstrapped Berlin startup running two tech companies from one little Chausseestraße office. (You might call us the little office that could.) Wish we already had tickets, but a budget is budget. We’re always ready to learn and would love the chance to connect to other startups at Next10.

Plus we had to sit through Mike Butcher at M2C, so you owe us one…

This question is easy to answer for me: this years slogan “game changers” matches perfect to me and our product SEOlytics. You ask why to me? Because as a marketing manager i have to be a game changer for my hole business life, lots of new trends, innovation which make just every week a game changer week. And why our product? SEOlytics is a SEO-Controlling-Tool, which changes the view on important aspects of SEO and SEM, so that our clients are able to controll significant KPIs of their domain performance and so save lots of money and time. So this tool is a really a game changing one for online marketing. So Its´me who is perfectly connecting to this years NEXT slogan.

Very easy and short answer: We live and work in Berlin, need to be there to further boost our startup, but we just cant afford to buy the tickets ourselves…So to be there, would be a big help for our business!

I’d like to be taken into consideration since I a) like to talk to other people doing interesting things b) like other people talking to me (about the mobile company I’m co-founding for example) c) like to celebrate a part of my birthday (won’t tell here which date) in Berlin.

I didn’t intend to doublepost, so please delete this one.. THX

I want to come and be a part of the conference: add to it, take away from it and write about it. Representing one of the most interesting Italian agencies would be an honor. Oh yeah and I am a girl so in this arena I am often outnumbered and I have to pull out the megaphone to get heard.

i’m a strategist at an ad agency in berlin. having just moved over to europe from nyc, i want…NEED…to have a better understanding of the european tech market and what startup/early adopter opportunities there are for the clients i am working on. unfortunately big brands are usually the last to the table when something is brand new. i’d like to change that. that said, i think that the next10 is a perfect opportunity for me to dive right in to the deep end and learn more about europe’s markets, to learn about who the key players are.

for this reason, i’d like to be considered.

Correct, you win the prize for the lamest comment. But not the tickets, yet.

Cheeky.

I’d like to go because I’m a freelancer that helps building the next web by supporting cutting edge new technologies like Cappuccino: http://www.springenwerk.com/2010/04/introducing-raphuccino.html
Also, I can sing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oavMtUWDBTM

In all seriousness, a great presentation. We were just recalling you’re proclamation about how we had to sit through your English rosbif…

*your

As a startup in the mobile software business I rely on the professional skills and hints from experts.

Furthermore next conference is a chance to discuss my business modell and to get some new influences. I would be glad to talk to others about the growing market of mobile applications and how it can be used to make the world a bit easier.

The next ticket would help my startup to make a further step into the future.

Regards from Germany,
Martin

If you´ll let me be the one, I will spread the word on all relvevant channels, I will distribute the ideas of NEXT10 and contribute to the conference with all my skills and knowledge. Besides, connections will be made and maybe we´ll see eacht other NEXT(11) year again – on the other side. #swapped perspectives

I’ve already invested my budget into a german security software startup as business angel and want to discuss additional opportunities. Flying in from Zurich. thanks a lot!

It’d be great to visit the homeland and attend a conference such as next10. Unfortunately as a small bootstrapped startup I’m not in a position to fund the ticket price at this point in time.

So if you’d like to send a UK-based, German-run startup over to Berlin then I’m your man

Thanks for the consideration.

I’m an entrepreneur into mobile augmented reality which is for sure one of the next big things. At the moment I’m just founding and I definitely need to network. I’m living in Berlin, so the ticket will be used FOR SURE. I always had been a futurist, already using things when others were still reading about it.

If I’d get the tix, I’d appear at the Next10 with a “Germany’s NEXT10 Top-Model”-T-Shirt. For sure you’d get the hottest Photos.
See you there!
Chris

I need to win the tickets because I really need another conference that keeps me from launching my fucking product, as you Mike put it so eloquently at Techcrunch Munich.

short answer: looks like the schedule is interesting this year. i’m web/mobile entrepreneur from hamburg, germany. would like to meet other entrepreneurs from all over europe, and next10 seems to be the right event for it.

It’s a long story…

Once upon a time a country lost in the middle of the Atlantic decided to reimburse its debt to the world in hard ash… The EU in awe decided to offset the carbon emissions from the small country’s fiery activities by stopping all air traffic for a week.

Taken in the midst of this while I visiting the United Nations headquarters I got stranded in New York…

And my flight from London to Berlin got rescheduled for the 10th of May…

All this worldwide political wrangling was just a conspiracy by some puppeteer to send me to next10…

The only thing he hadn’t conceived in his masterplan was the fact that all this extended stay in fancy New York had left me high and dry…

Could all this suffering really be in vain?

PS: all the facts reported here are true!
PPS: with a few embellishments I didn’t visit the United Nations but the MoMA… shame on me!

As a platform for location-based microblogging we will be able to inform our community about the trends in the web and mobile area discussed and presented at next10. As Dailyplaces is communication in realtime we must be present in Berlin. And for sure we will also take the opportunity to present Dailplaces to some people who are interested in. And if I look at the speakers list I’m sure there will be some there.

All of the arguments above and even more important I’ve the greatest start-up full of guys wearing Germany’s Next Top Model shirts, working 24-7 on producing cutting edge technology in the cloud computing (<- important BUZZWORD!) segment. On a global scale I live right next to the venue. I'm not a girl but could dress like one, maybe. Of course I would write in my blog about it. In the future I want to be a business angel or VC or firefighter in Europe….

I heard the party on tuesday is pretty cool. I would shout a drink or two.

As a young Macedonian tech journalists we would love to go to Berlin and write and inform our readers about the ideas about use of mobile applications and try to influence digital change in the way people think and work here.

Dear Mike

I would like to approach you with regards to a profitable Business Proposal in exchange for NEXT10 tickets, regarding the transfer of TEN MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND INTERNET KARMA CREDITS (@10800000) into your Blog Account. If you have been following the events in my country over the last weeks, you will remember the scandalous natural desaster that prevented me and my Dear Co-Founder from flying out to the Event of GEEKNROLLA in Your country. Thus it is of urgent importance for me to attend the NEXT10 Business Conference to make up for the tremendous loss of Business Networking Opportunities. Unfortunately, as a startup we are in a position where most of our money is currently located in a future bank account. I did however get my hands on a large number of Internet Karma Credits and would be glad to transfer the whole amount of above sum to you in exchange for the ticket.

We’re a german neuroscience startup that helps companies turn attention into money. Hope to have turned yours into a ticket for next10.

Respectfully yours,

Fabian

Simply becuase my wife is giving birth for our second baby on May 3, 2010.

NEXT time i will probably have enough money to buy a ticket. But NEXT year is too long to wait. The NEXT conference would be one of the highlights of my year. Hope so badly that i will be the NEXT winner! A* xoxo

It’s a dream being there the first time and would help me getting more details founding my own online-business

I’m from Italy… You know: Not the best place to start a web business! But also a lovely place to live, this is the point! So, help us to make our country better! Believe me, this is the right moment! There is a new wave of enthusiasm between entrepreneurs & VC and we could change a few important things! Come on… keep this “fire” burning!

I just quit my jobs, am moving to Berlin to start a startup with friends, and thus can’t afford to go to this year’s next conference, as much as I wanted to. Last time I was there, I met so many interesting people, many of which I’m still in contact with; now next is coming to Berlin with me and getting bigger (unlike me) and it would be “schade” if I really couldn’t make it.

Also, I’m fun on parties, and there will be a next party and maybe a TCEU party, right?

Hey.

At my media economy blog I try to discover new topics and trends in the internet economy, and I make interviews. One post was one of the rare interviews with WikiLeaks Co-Founder Julian Assange (http://bit.ly/91p7S6). It was published in English, German and Spanish, slashdotted, bildbloged, and twittered by Lawrence Lessig, all in all receiving more than 70 trackbacks from lots of countries.

At nextconference there are lots of interesting people. I’m so interested in talking with them about business/ society/ politics 2.0/ 2.1/ 3.0 or whatever. If I get one of the tickets, I promise that I will make at least 5 interviews, and I will publish them under a Creative Commons Licenense, so everyone can use and re-use and adapt them. Stefan

Hi,

Thanks for this opportunity. My name is Michelle.
I’m from Sydney and now live in Berlin. I’m a freelancer with clients such as Beatport.com, Fuga.me, Epidemicsound.com plus I did the voice over for Soundcloud.com and amazing cloud project based here in Berlin.

Working with start-up’s is a great way to stay up to date with the ever evolving changes of digtal marketing and promotions.

I’m excited that many more start-ups are moving to Berlin eg. Etsy and would love the opportunity to network and learn from this conference and the many exciting guest speakers such as Gerd Leonhard, someone I admire. I would love the opportunity to hear him speak in person.

This conference is unfortunately too expensive for me so thanks for giving us this opportunity to win tickets.

Great to hear about this conference right in the heart of Berlin where im based! For some time if been disappointed by the absence of any major digital media conferences here. Berlin has so much creative talent and is playing an increasingly important role in Europe’s digital economy, yet it needs to optimize the networking & sharing side of things. Luckily things are changing for the better. As a regular Techchrunch reader, it would be a very special delight for me to win these tickets – enabling me to participate in this special event. thanks in advance!

Hi,
we from MaMüMaMa e.V. (ManMüssteMalMachen engl.: OneShouldBeDoingIt) are a small team of VCs, coders, lawyers, consultants, marketeers etc., supporting start-ups in our spare time to set up shop, answer open questions, get financing, avoid surprises etc. But we have no real budget for conferences etc. I/We would love to attend next10 to find more start-ups we can support with our help. We have the aim to strenghten entrepreneurship in Germany.
Best,
Felix

I’m thinking of moving from Milan (Italy) to Berlin. Award me the tickets and I promise I will only buy a one-way plane ticket to Berlin, and then try my luck in Berlin – and keep you updated, too.

I recently moved to Berlin from Silicon Valley and I’m working on getting to know the start-up scene here before starting my “next thing”.

What’s in it for you? I’ll tweet/blog the hell out of this conference and contribute to the social stream of conversation.

Why me? I quit my job to pursue my dreams. It’s a shame I can’t afford to attend a conference full of people who dreamt big and succeeded.

No pitch or story. I just want to go to the conference.

Well… if what people are writing here counts, i am your man!

We need the tickets because; we have a technology that will revolutionize apparel online shopping!
How? (you ask), I’ll tell you all about it in THE NEXT WEB.

Now seriously- we – ticket – need.

No, I think commenting on the lamest comment wins the lamest comment award

actually I just want the “swarm” badge on 4sq.

ok.. i give up! we measure people with a standard web cam.
We need such events to get to the right people, who can make decisions.

Simply, I want to go to this conference, but this price is too much. The only chance to bring me there is to give me a free ticket!

No budget left for me to join the NEXT. So I promised my boss to do EVERYTHING to make it happen – joining the next FOR FREE. Would be a great surprise for my colleagues!!

Thank you for this opportunity Markus! I only learnt about Next10 from your post here. I design creative solutions engineered from distinct and (at most times) disjoint information clusters for robotics, game and interaction design, drive process changes working with pure engineering companies and corporations to volunteer work for the UN and UNESCO. I know some speakers from DLD, would be travelling from London and can offer in return of the ticket to do an interactive workshop for TechCrunch readers/members. Thanks for considering.

I need to go, because the product I work on as merketing director http://favit.com IS a game changer. It entirely redefines the way we consume and interact with content. And the Next conference will be a great place where I can find potential media partners, adopters, investors.

Game changers can only change the game if they are able to spread their ideas and convince people. And those have to spread it again. I’d love to be part of this.

Listening to inspiring talks and talking to interesting people will make me help changing the game. And in return I can pitch our co-working ideas to the sometimes conservative attendees to shake up their foundations.

And I already have the swarm badge

I really need to go there, to meet people like me, or lets say people that are a little further down the road. I am about to launch my project and it would be awesome to get some feedback by the game changers themselfes.

Thanks in advance.

Sinnerschrader should give the ticket to me because they are creating radical relationships and so do !
I am from Ukraine, but everyone calls me Russian. I immigrated to Israel then came to study in Germany.
My boyfriend is half Indian half Arabic.
We are going to get married soon and have a baby.
If that is not creating a radical relationship, what is.
On second thought Sinnerschrader and techcrunch shouldn’t give the ticket to me, because I am their competitor.

It took me some time and a lot more discussions with friends and co-workers until I finally took up my keyboard and wrote down this comment.

Why should I be awarded with a free next10 ticket? Because I will not buy one.

This is not because it is expensive but for many different reasons I will try to explain.

The timing is bad. next10 comes around just after re:publica10 took place. Which had been great. And in Berlin.

Speaking of Berlin. There are many many many people in Hamburg I spoke to over the last few months who quite openly disagreed with SinnerSchrader taking the next to Berlin. They did it nonetheless. And made their point by doing so. No matter what is said up-front behind the scenes there are a lot of people and organizations who feel sad about this decision and probably because of this reason quit supporting next.

I will not go into speculation here why they took to Berlin nor why the decision against Hamburg was made – there are some other sources where this has already been discussed. And I won’t join the fray.

On the other hand not a single week passes without mails arriving from SinnerSchrader (be it in personal accounts, via XING or Facebook) offering huge discounts for the tickets. I can get the impression that they did not sell as many as they hoped for.

As Michael quoted the “game changer” thing above – SinnerSchrader has done an exceptional job in changing the game, changing the face of web 2.0 conferences in Germany – but it is to be seen if the move to Berlin is just another step forward or not.

As I said, I will not buy a ticket but I will readily and gladly go to next10 if invited or given a free ticket. So good luck everyone and to all attendees and organizers of next10: enjoy.

You’ve just been ousted as the holder of next10 tickets!

This one had some spirit in it. I like it and will from now on call you Mayor Thorsten. Until someone else … you’ll see my point?

Don’t take it too hard – a few more replies and you could be back on top…

Hey guys,

The 3.5 is about to be over in this part of the world.
any decision regarding the winners?

If you find the mentioned above rude.. please remember the Judgment of Solomon.

It is very important to me (my F5 key is not to be used anymore after today) and it could really mean the world to me, if i could grab my dirty hands on one of the tickets.

So who is the winner now? Ok…I will book transport now in good hopes you guys support mamümama e.V. …

Hi,
would be great to know who the winners are,
best,
Felix

As a sponsor the blogger lounge and organizer of the poker event during the next10 party we can offer one more ticket.

So if you are not a winner here, I keep my fingers crossed for you when we select one yiid.com user.

Hope to see most of you during next10

Hi there,

Mike and Markus know the winners. They will be informed with all details for regsitration.

Hope to see most of you at next10,
Kind regards, Romy

Sadly, i understand that i am not the lucky winner.

can you please share with the rest of us- who are the lucky winners?

I’m a Ghanaian varsity student in Ukraine and I’ve always had a deep intrest in all things digital. I’ve been very exposed to the realities and influences the digital industry has had on various corners of the world from Africa to Europe since I actually lived in these commuinties. Such a conference would definately enhance my in depth understanding of the purpose and direction of the industry from the pacesetters in the field.

I agree with your Blog and I will be back to check it more in the future so please keep up your work. I love your content & the way that you write. It looks like you’ve been doing this for a while now, how long have you been blogging for?

 Intimately, the post is actually the best on this laudable topic. I harmonize with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your future updates. Saying thanks will not just be adequate, for the fantastic lucidity in your writing.

Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the
chalice of opportunity. So let us seize it, not in fear, but in gladness.

Canada Goose parka is just like a flame, which can make us warm all the winter.
