The plan for cashing in on a "million dollar idea" tends to start with step 1, an idea, and end with step 3, profit. The mysterious step 2 turns out to be the hard part, both because it is mysterious, and because it is much, much more complicated than one bullet point will allow.

 After having a doctor with a flashlight explain where ideas come from, we'll explore step 2. We'll start with Mike Lee's amazing $1000-an-hour idea refinement service. Then we'll lay out the steps necessary to turn a refined idea into a product.

 Whether you have shipped an app, or are sitting on the next big thing, you won't want to miss this hilarious and irreverent nontechnical look at the hows and whys of making a living in technology – and from a keynote speaker wearing a mariachi outfit, no less.


Get inspired by learning how to manage, execute, market and sell your app beyond the usual details. Features, design, price, messaging and even the app's name all play a major role in your app's success.

You’ll hear what’s needed for a successful product launch, along with proven advice to ensure it remains successful. Michael will take a close look at the things you should do and, of course, the things you shouldn't do.

This keynote will ask the important questions and help you formulate the answers necessary to provide your product the successful launch it deserves.
