Did I say “big”?  I mean BIG. HUGE. Prizes that make me want to rewrite the rules so that CompTIA staff can win.  But alas, I’m not eligible.  All the better for you and the rest of the Breakaway attendees.



During Breakaway in Washington, D.C., August 1-4, visit booths in the Technology Vendor Fair, vote for Best of Breakaway Awards, attend educational sessions, network at meetings and donate to the Creating IT Futures Foundation to earn tag points and win great prizes. You get points based on the following:

  • Visiting the Technology Vendor Fair booths = 25 Points

  • Voting for the Best of Breakaway Awards = 25 Points

  • Attending an education session = 10 Points

  • Networking with other attendees = 5 Points

  • Donating to the Foundation = 5 Points


With every 250 and 500 points, you get a trip to the CompTIA Prize Center. When you get to the conference, gathering points is easy:

  1. Sign up for a Booth Tag account at comptia.boothtag.com.

  2. Download the barcode reader for your phone at www.gettag.mobi.

  3. Start scanning – you’ll find tags in each exhibitor’s booth, at the close of each educational session and on the phones of other attendees you meet.


So that’s how you get points, but what do you win?  The slew of prizes that were giving away includes:

  • BBQ University at The Broadmoor for 2
