Cool.

[stgreenb]

Please confirm if this is open to channel partners/VARs or are they considered 'agents and affiliates'?

How do we submit our proposal?

[PadmanabhShenoy6281]

How do i submit my proposal. Just my two bits but its very confusing and not at all intuitive, the workspace. It is filled with too much information and visually not clear as to how I should submit my proposal. There is no button or interface which allows me to do that!

[ivypham]

These questions were answered a while ago in another forum, but posting it here again:

- Channel partners/VARs are eligible, as long as they satisfy the eligibility criteria above, which most of them probably should 

- You can submit your proposal by creating an account and logging in to  https://innovationchallenge.cisco.com/itonics_campaign_tr3/76/details. There should be a button to submit at the top. 

Thanks!

[gareffred91976]

I suppose it'd be top notch if we ought to make use of the USB ports for Slide Sharing from a flashdrive as you can check. Or perhaps leverage the connections for use for Digital Signage
