Last week, Impact held its contest for a free ticket to this year’s Impact Gala.  People from all over the country told us why they wanted to go to the gala, and the entrants were placed in a random draw.

Now, the results are in and the winner has been selected!  The ticket to the Impact Gala goes to @daniellevine on Twitter.  Congratulations to daniellevine and many thanks to all of the contest participants!

If you are still interested in participating in our conference, you can still register as a delegate! The deadline is Saturday, October 31, 2009 at 11:59pm EST. Click here for more information.

Chamath Palihapitiya

Lets face it, we all are Facebook fanatics. We have grown up with this website, and it is essentially our primary tunnel into the social networking world. I remember when Facebook was limited to just a number of select universities, and you could only register if you had a university email address. Oh, how much its grown since then!

Chamath Palihapitiya, the Facebook VP of User Growth, Mobile and International Expansion is actually a UW Grad, and he will be a featured keynote at University of Waterloo Homecoming celebrations, this Saturday September 26th.

Best of all its free!!
