The Launch Pad program is a consistent demonstration of the new applications and technologies changing the way we work and we're looking forward to a fresh round of ideas for San Francisco."

The four finalists will be announced in late October and will have the opportunity to give a five minute demonstration of their applications live on the keynote stage at the event. The winner will be chosen by conference attendees after the presentations.
