I want more submissions for Launch Pad so I am straight up reposting this from the Enterprise 2.0 blog. Know an enterprise 2.0 or social business vendor that likes free publicity and speaking on stages at conferences? Keep reading . . .
*************
Taking a moment to celebrate and recognize the innovation taking place within the Enterprise 2.0 marketplace is important, but rather simple. Doing it in three minutes is indubitably more challenging .
Launch Pad is a fun, free contest that awards vendors in the collaboration space with an opportunity to present live at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference. The competition is not limited to startups – all companies are encouraged to participate. The only requirement is that you showcase something new.
What do you mean by new?
We want to hear about a new product, a new partnership, a new feature — anything your company is proud to boast about in 2011. The announcement doesn’t need to take place live at the event (although we like that too); if it’s happened within the calendar year, it counts.
Sounds easy enough. How do I enter?
Craft 140 perfect characters and Twitter pitch to #e2conflp before April 11, 2011. That’s it.
Suspiciously simple – what gives?
Granted, there are a couple more hoops to jump through. The Jury will select the 8 best submissions, and those 8 companies will create 3 minute videos. After the community votes on the vids, the 4 with the most votes go on to demo live at Enterprise 2.0 at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA on June 22, 2011.
Anything else I should know?
Full rules and key dates are all explained on the site. We’re switching things up slightly this year and adding a new twist to the contest: Launch Pad is officially on a diet and shaving down main stage demo time to three minutes a piece.
Jeez.
Yeah, sorry about that. Please remember to include the hashtag: #e2conflp (so we know you want to enter), and if you have any questions, just holler at me. Look forward to seeing your submissions!

TL;DR Tweet to #e2conflp before April 11 to enter to win demo time at Enterprise 2.0 Boston.
Hello Paige:
I am hoping that you, or you may know of someone, who may be willing to consider involvement with the KID’S CLUB project that I started developing over twelve years ago. I saw your blog while doing research for this project. KID’S CLUB introduces chronically ill children and their families to the joys of the amateur radio hobby in a practical,easy to manage way. I have been working on the project alone since I started developing it and am searching for help for it. The Associated Press staff recently published a news story about KID’S CLUB. The link to this news story is in the KID’S CLUB post on the project blog at: http://duanewyatt.wordpress.com. Again, I am hoping for your interest in this. The KID’S CLUB project was selected to be presented at the annual “Youth at Risk Conference” in Savannah, Ga. in one of the project’s early years. If a KID’S CLUB unit is wanted, the chairperson of this project will solicit funding from the membership of the local service organization (Kiwanis Club, Lions Club or Rotary Club) . Thanks.
Duane Wyatt
