At Citrix, we have a passion for innovation, and the next big thing particularly when it comes to helping people work better together. That’s why we are hosting a session that will blend good old-fashioned networking along with hands on experimentation. We will start with a uncensored, unscripted discussion on reinventing the way we work and live with people who are very passionate about this topic: Bitcoin, Twitter, Jawbone and Draper & Associates. After the panel, working in teams, hackers will ideate an app that helps people work better together. Show up with your idea and don’t miss the chance to win up to $10,000 in cash and the opportunity of a life time to pitch your idea to a venture capitalist!

This is a great chance to meet other innovators - build a portfolio, team-build next to other industry leaders and have fun. Food, drinks and experts will be there to guide the way. At the end, you must have a concept or maybe even prototype that you can present in 2 minutes or less. Teams will present to the Judges who will select the 3 best ideas. The top 3 winners will have 30 days to build out their winning idea in preparation for their pitch
