"While the winter hasn't been a rough one here in the US, I can't think of anywhere better to spend a few days in February than Miami, Florida. Fortunately, thanks to SuperConf, I'll be there February 24th and 25th. You should be too.\r\n\r\nThis is year number 2 for SuperConf, and for startups it's time to get your submissions going. Day 1 will be a Startup Blast Off where companies can launch their products in front of the SuperConf attendees and a judging panel that includes yours truly.\r\n\r\nI'll be joined by 4 fantastic minds:\u00A0Matt Tanase of Slicehost,\u00A0Paul Singh of 500 Startups,\u00A0Adam D'Augelli if True Ventures and Pedro Torres Pic\u00F3n of Quotidian Ventures. Together, we'll take a look at the startups, give the advice that we have and hopefully help make a few of you famous.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe winner of the Startup Blast Off gets $10,000 in cash, plus $16,000 in credit from companies like SendGrid, Linode, KISSmetrics and more. Second place? You've got prizes too. $1,500 in cash, plus $2,000 in services.\r\n\r\nLast year's winner, Shoefitr, snagged itself media attention plus $1.2 million in funding after SuperConf. If you want your piece of the pie, you have to start with an application. I expect to be blown away by what Miami has to offer, but applicants from anywhere are accepted.\r\n\r\nSo get submitting, and keep an eye on TNW as we tell you more about SuperConf in the weeks to come.\r\n\r\n\u27A4\u00A0SuperConf 2012"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
