registration from zero to over 6000 in three short years, APPNATION is excited to
announce it is moving its sixth national conference and expo, APPNATION VI, into Las
Vegas next January as an official partner event of the International Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) 2015.

Our overall conference theme and positioning remain the same – Build. Discover.

sizes including discovery, monetization, acquisition, distribution, funding / financing, and
business development / partnerships. APPNATION VI will include a robust exhibit area,
back-to-back main-stages positioned at the center of the show floor and an array of
breakout sessions featuring deep-dive content focused on emerging best practices for
app discovery, monetization, user acquisition, distribution, and more.
We expect 4,000+ total attendees to join us at APPNATION VI.
