• AdTech
• MarTech
• Artificial Intelligence
• Metaverse
• Blockchain and NFTs
• Marketing Automation and Personalization
• E-Commerce and Retail Technology
• Content Marketing / Marketing Services
• Data & Analytics
• CRM
• SAAS

The one-day, in-person Quantum Marketing themed accelerator program is designed for early-stage companies with a product or service in the market and maximum of Series A funding.  Fifteen (15) companies will be selected and will receive:

• A day of education, networking and inspiration from leading brand, media, agency, technology, and investment executives
• Opportunity to pitch before AWNY attendees in-person and virtually
• Chance to become AWNewYork 2021’s Best in Show
