APPNATION IS BACK!

After producing seven APPNATION events in our first 18 months of operation, we scheduled a brief hiatus this summer as we ramp up for what will be a very exciting Fall 2012 and 1H 2013 schedule. Here's what's on tap:

APPNATION IV: Mashing-Up The Consumer and Enterprise App Ecosystems: We return to Moscone West in Downtown San Francisco, December 11-12, 2012 for APPNATION IV, our 4th National Conference & Expo and our global flagship event. We are very excited to announce that we will be mashing-up our consumer and enterprise events at APPNATION IV as the cross-currents between the consumer and enterprise app ecosystems grow stronger. Your ticket to APPNATION IV will give you access to both the consumer and enterprise components of the show as well as a combined exhibit area. Additional feature initiatives of APPNATION IV include:

o The Garage: Back by popular demand, The Garage will feature 100+ app developers and mobile entrepreneurs from leading universities, accelerators, and incubators. Last year's Garage participants included start-ups from Stanford, Y Combinator, Berkeley, UCSF, SV Forum, Founders Fund, Tandem, Seedcamp, 500 Startups, and other institutions and funds and we are on track to double, and potentially triple, the number of Garage participants at this year's conference.

o The 4's APPLab: APPNATION is proud to partner with the American Association of Advertising Agencies to bring the 4's APPLab to APPNATION IV. After premiering at our recent NYC Mobile + TV 3.0 Summit in New York City with over 25 companies participating, the 4's APPLab is a dedicated section on the exhibit floor that features innovative mobile and app-based marketing and advertising solutions, tools, and technologies from developers, mobile entrepreneurs, media companies, and agencies of all shapes and sizes.

o APPNATION IV Bootcamp Workshop Pavilion: The APPNATION Bootcamp Pavilion returns to APPNATION IV and serves as an educational track of sessions from some of our leading partners. Open and accessible to all attendees of APPNATION IV, "The Bootcamp" features presentations and training sessions from leading companies that focus on best practices in the areas of monetization, discoverability, distribution, app marketing, partnership development, and emerging app technologies and infrastructure innovations.
