It's that time again, folks – time for devs to get together at Apps World's North American event and learn some stuff. Just like in the past, we've teamed up with Apps World to offer a free way in. And just like last year's European event, we have two passes to give away for the North American conference. These are the full deal, too – both days, every event, all zones, every workshop, all presentations... the absolute best Apps World has to offer.

As always, the tickets are for the entry only. We're not responsible for airfare, lodging, food, or anything else. Please don't enter if you don't think you'll be able to go.

So, what is Apps World, exactly? It's a conference where like-minded devs can get together, learn more about their trade, network, and collaborate on projects. Manufacturers, carriers, and other IT professionals are also part of what Apps World is all about – after all, they help make the mobile world turn, too.

There's even a special track called Droid World at Apps World just for Android developers. There, you'll hear talks from industry insiders that will help you better develop your app and reach your target audience, show you how to improve your app's discoverability, and so much more. There are also topics on how to make money on Android, as well as how to optimize your app for the tablet landscape. All fantastic info for both newcomers to the Android dev scene and seasoned veterans alike.

There are many other topics covered at apps world, as well – like mobile payments and NFC, TV and Multiscreen apps, marketing, gaming, html5, enterprise, and so much more, from companies like Intel, Rackspace, MasterCard, AT&T, and several others. Given everything Apps World has to offer, a full pass for both days would set you back a cool $1220. So, how can you get in for free?

That part's pretty easy, actually: just convince us. Tell us why you want to go. What drives you, motivates you. Why you develop, or why you want to learn. We want to see passion and drive – in short, we want to know why you deserve to go.

We'll run this one for 10 days. It starts now, and is over on Thursday, January 24th at 11:59 PM PT. After that, we'll hand-pick the winners and send out notifications. Good luck!
