Our next Partner Camp will be held between 13 - 15 October 2008 in Clearwater, Florida.

Register your interest by emailing developers@orange.com with 'Partner Camp, Clearwater' in the subject line and we'll send you details of the event once it's available.


Orange Partner Camp is designed to give you every opportunity to meet with representatives from Orange and the France Telecom Group.


At the event, there will be three organised meet us activities, where you can present your products and services, share your ideas and gain invaluable feedback; face-to-face: speed dating, 1-2-1s, and the Orange Innovation Contest.

You need to complete an application form to apply to be involved in any or all of these activities.

Latest update: The deadline to apply to 'meet us' at Partner Camp has now passed.  If you've applied, then great.  If not, we'll see if we can help you meet people from Orange at Partner Camp. Come to the Info point and we'll see what we can do.

what is speed dating?  

Present your products to a group of us in a very short space of time, and then move on to the next group and present again... that's speed dating.

If you've applied, we'll let you know when you get to Partner Camp whether you've been  successful in obtaining a place.

You will have 4 minutes to present, 3 times, to 3 different groups of representatives from Orange and the France Telecom Group, and our sponsors.

In 4 minutes, you'll need to tell us:
 what is your product, service or innovation?
 what is your product's Unique Selling Point?
 what is your current relationship with Orange or the France Telecom Group?
 what is your current Orange Partner membership level?

Speed dating will take place on Monday 14th April at 10 am.

To find out if you've been successful in obtaining place, visit the Orange Partner stand once you're at the event.

what is a 1-2-1?  

A 1-2-1 is your opportunity to meet and present your product or service to the right person from Orange and the France Telecom Group, plus gain feedback from us. 

The activity was extremely well received and invaluable for both attendees and Orange and France Telecom Group employees at the last Partner Camp... so we're doing it again.

Latest update: The deadline to apply to 'meet us' at Partner Camp has now passed.  If you've applied, then great.  If not, we'll see if we can help you meet people from Orange at Partner Camp. Come to the Info point and we'll see what we can do.
 
If you've applied, the information you provided in your application will determine the right person for you to be meeting with.

what is the Orange Innovation Contest?

Are you working on something innovative and original? Or do you have the latest groundbreaking product or service?

The Orange Innovation Contest involves presenting your product or service to a panel of judges, made up of senior decision makers from Orange and the France Telecom Group. This is a unique opportunity to get exposure to key people, and win some fantastic prizes.

Latest update: The deadline to apply to 'meet us' at Partner Camp has now passed.  If you've applied, then great.  If not, we'll see if we can help you meet people from Orange at Partner Camp. Come to the Info point and we'll see what we can do.

If you've applied, your entry will currently be scored by representatives from a number of areas across the Orange and France Telecom Group.  10 companies will be short-listed to present their product, to the panel of judges, at Partner Camp.

The short-list of selected companies will be available at the event. Each company will have 10 minutes to present their product to the panel of judges.

The judges will want to see
 what's innovative or original about your product, service or technology?
 how your product benefits or brings value to Orange and the France Telecom Group, or our
   customers?
 how far your product is currently commercially viable?

Following your presentation the judges will  then put their questions to you.

The winners will be announced in the closing pow-wow at 1pm, Wednesday 16th April.
