Submissions are open until September 23rd , and all finalists will be
notified by September 30th.
"The real-time engagement ecosystem is growing more rapidly than
ever before," said Tony Zhao,
founder and CEO at Agora. "And there are so many bright, rising
companies out there with big, potentially game-changing ideas that
don't always see the light of day. With our Startup Battleground
competition, the goal is to help showcase these RTE innovations
that will mark the future of how we make meaningful connections
with each other."
Agora's RTE2022 conference is free and held virtually with
a one-day live program in San
Francisco. It is the world's largest conference exploring
RTE technologies, and will bring together leading global voices to
discuss innovations in live interactive video, voice and streaming.
The event is expected to host approximately 400 in-person
participants including exhibits, networking receptions, as well as
thousands of attendees from around the world joining virtually.
