AppCircus Developer Showcase & Event Launches » mobilegroove

Are you a developer who wants to get the word out about your app? Or are you a company that wants to host an event to provide developers a chance to show off their best apps? Then sign up for the AppCircus — a global traveling showcase of the most creative and innovative apps presented by their creators.

The event, launched in partnership with influential mobile event organizers and developer communities (such as Mobile Monday), has announced the first dates for its world tour.

Over the next four months, the AppCircus will set up its tents in 40 major cities – including New York, Chicago, Boston, Dublin, Copenhagen, Madrid, Bangalore and Johannesburg — and new locations are added to the list daily.

See the full list here.

Free and open

The AppCircus provides developers a much needed opportunity to showcase their applications. Kudos to Rudy De Waele and his team for kicking off this event and offering it as a platform to organizers worldwide!

As I pointed out in my recent (and sober) analysis of the app landscape for Mobile Marketing Magazine, developers must take marketing and monetization into their own hands. It all starts with generating interest in their apps in the first place.

For this reason, AppCircus is free and open to any developer with an app. Simply sign up here for a chance to present your app for three minutes in front of a high-calibre audience of VCs, tech media, industry peers and potential customers.

AppCircus is an open event format, which means event organizers can set up an AppCircus as part of the program. The procedure: dedicate a slot in your agenda for an AppCircus (consisting of 30 to 45 minutes of app pitches) and then reach out to the AppCircus team for support.

They will create event pages, application signups, and assist with selecting a jury to choose the winner.

If you’re interested to organize an AppCircus at your event, contact info@appcircus.com.

DroidCon & AppCircus

DroidCon 2010, the two-day event taking place in London (October 28-29), will bring together some 600 visitors (developers, designers, manufacturers and media) to discuss topics including business models, SDKs and APIs. The event is also hosting a special Android edition of the AppCircus with prizes to be won.

MSearchGroove is proud to be a media partner for DroidCon. I will also launch a series this month to profile the AppCircus apps and the developers that set the bar, so stay tuned!

For more about the AppCircus and the story behind the nominees and winners check out the official blog.

The AppCircus is not only about events, it’s also a new platform where you can search and browse apps of all kinds across platforms and stores.
