## Watch for

Run by Mat De Sousa, whose company makes WideBundle, a bundle app, and AppstorePulse, an App Store tracker listed here. So a bundle app or a rank tracker vendor who attends is at a competitor's event. It is announced through Eventbrite and his personal X account, so the next date is usually announced late. Held in May in 2024, 2025 and 2026, at a different venue each year.
