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.
