ACE is all about entrepreneurs. As such, the planning committee is very entrepreneurial and likes to keep abreast of the latest tools in the business community. In that spirit, ACE ’10 is trying something new, quite possibly the first time ever in the history of the world: a business idea pitch competition using Twitter! The judges are anyone and everyone with access to Twitter – so get your friends and business partners engaged.
Rules:
-
- If you don’t already have a Twitter account, please go to Twitter to set one up.
- Tweet your business idea (115 characters max – assuming your username is not more than 10 characters – with #ACEbizIdea at the end) by 5:00 pm EST on 1/13/2010, and you’ll be entered in the contest.
- We will RT (retweet) your plan as it comes in. (Or as humanly close as we can get to that time, during business hours.)
- Others will vote for your plan by RT’ing or by marking it as a favorite. Voting will close at 5pm on 1/15/2010, so the sooner you get your plan in, the more chances you’ll have to be seen
- Follow @ACEevent on Twitter.
- Vote on business plans as they’re Tweeted, either by:
- Marking them as a favorite, or
- RT’ing them
- Only one vote per account for each business idea will be counted. You are welcome to vote for multiple business plans; but you can only cast one vote per plan!
- Voting must be complete by 5pm on 1/15/2010.
| Prizes and recognition:
Note: The winner must be in attendance at ACE to have their idea shared and to collect the check. We will post the top five vote getters, here, prior to the event. For those who are not up on twitter, this document provides more details regarding signing up, voting, etc. |
