ATTENTION: You must signup in advance to attend this workshop. You will need to have a valid SXSW badge, and an activated SXsocial account. To reserve your seat, please go here: https://sup.sxsw.com/schedule/IAP27138

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.

Sponsored by Citrix.

Prerequisites:
- Experienced developers.

What to Bring:
- A Wi-fi enabled device that you can build your idea or prototype on.

Leslie Miley

Lead Engineer

Twitter

A Silicon Valley native, Leslie Miley grew up surrounded and inspired by innovation and technology. From early programming on the Apple IIc and hacking set top boxes, to leading engineering teams at the world’s most recognizable tech companies, technology has been a constant source of his fascination and discovery.

After stints at several start-ups, and as a founding member of the Walmart.com engineering team, Leslie went off the grid, built a straw bale house, and ran a coffee shop for several years until he realized you can take the geek out Silicon Valley, but you can't take Silicon Valley out of the geek.

In recent years, Leslie has held various engineering leadership roles at Yahoo, Google, Apple and Modcloth.

In between trying to make the perfect cup of coffee and chess boxing, Leslie can currently be found @Twitter leading the Product Safety Engineering Teams.
