2012 NASCC: Contests and Sessions

April 17, 2012

Part of the Design Data team is already in Dallas, setting up our booth at NASCC: The Steel Conference. The event is held at the Gaylord Texan Convention Center and runs Wednesday, April 18, through Friday, April 20.

Contests

Design Data will be running two contests during NASCC. If you’d like to win SDS/2 software or a $250 gift card, keep reading…

To win a $250 gift card, all you have to do is take a picture in booth #501, then tweet the photo using the #SDS2contest hashtag OR post it on the SDS/2 by Design Data Facebook page. Once you’ve done that, you’re officially entered to win! And if your phone doesn’t have a camera or you’re unsure how to post to Twitter or Facebook, don’t worry! We’ll have someone at our booth to help you out.

So how do you win free SDS/2 software? Participate in the Design Data QR Code Scavenger Hunt! Again, it’s simple. Find and scan the six QR codes located at our customers’ and partners’ booths. Each QR code will take you to a short video that will reveal a code word. Once you have the entire “secret code,” bring it to the Design Data booth, #501, to be automatically entered to win free SDS/2 software! Winners will receive their choice of SDS/2 Connect, SDS/2 Approval, or SDS/2 Erector.

Winners will be awarded daily!
