About Disruptathon
A unique feature of MoDev, Disruptathon is about short and sharp presentations of innovative applications in identifying disruptive innovations across industries by seeking out and promoting creative ideas across all sectors of the economy. The Disruptathon Innovation Discovery Platform allows the audience to use a mobile application to provide ratings and feedback to presenters. This allows events to be run as contests or powerful forums for connecting presenters and the audience in a new and powerful way. The session will be introduced by the inventor of Disruptathon with illustrious samples from past Disruptathon presentations in the US, followed by Apps presentations by HK and China Apps developers.
