Macworld/iWorld offers an incredible opportunity for developers and innovators to put their product in front of avid Apple fans and garner significant media coverage (Macworld/iWorld generates over 2.4 billion media impressions). “6 About to Break” will be the talk of the event and is bound to make an innovator — or six — famous. Macworld/iWorld 2013 media in attendance included The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Rolling Stone, Mashable, Macworld, CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, New York Times and more.

The call for submissions for “6 About to Break” officially starts today.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, March 3, 2014 at 5 pm PST. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 12, 2014.

The six winning selections will each be given five minutes for a live demo and then another five minutes for a robust Q&A on stage at Macworld/iWorld on Thursday, March 27, 2014 in front of thousands of conference attendees and hundreds of media. Winners will also be awarded prizes, including but not limited to six Complete Kendo UI and Icenium full product licenses and support from Telerik.  We will also promote the winners via our media partnership with VentureBeat.

Immediately following the showcase, SF New Tech and Macworld/iWorld will host a special reception to celebrate the winners of the event and raise a glass to all things Apple and innovation. For those applicants not selected, Macworld/iWorld will be offering a special rate to both attend and showcase at the conference.
