Last year, we introduced the Snapdragon Insiders Access Program, which gives members of this amazing community exclusive access to new tech, industry events, and influencer training. The response was phenomenal. You all love the program, and we love sharing these amazing opportunities with you.

What is the Snapdragon Insiders Access Program anyway?
The Snapdragon Insiders Access Program offers a unique opportunity for select Snapdragon Insiders to gain early access to the latest device launches with Snapdragon.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE?
Our goal is to support and enrich our talented content creators within the Snapdragon Insiders community, so we ask that all Snapdragon Insiders who participate in this initiative create content about their experience with a device, event, or new tech to share with their audience.

Snapdragon Insiders who participate in this initiative may be chosen to engage with devices from well-known brands with Snapdragon processors, attend events and share educational content with the community, or to provide feedback on new technologies or experiences.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM FOR?
There is no obligation, and you may participate for as long as you wish. Declining participation in this initiative does not remove you from the community – and you'll still remain a Snapdragon Insider!
CAN I REFER ANOTHER SNAPDRAGON INSIDER TO THIS INITIATIVE?
Absolutely! We encourage you to refer other Snapdragon Insiders you know who might enjoy access to devices, events, and tech experiences to create content for their own audience.
DO I HAVE TO GIVE THE DEVICE BACK?
Sometimes. The Snapdragon Insiders Access Program involves both loaning and gifting devices. Whether or not a device will need to be returned depends on the specific device and will be stated up front when asking if you’d like access to the specific device.
DOES QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES LIMIT WHAT I CAN DO WITH THE DEVICES?
No. The devices we provide are for you to test, experience, and use as you see fit — we won’t limit your creativity! We’ll provide mentorship support for upping your content creation game to help you realize your vision, but we won’t dictate how or what you create.
WHO OWNS THE CONTENT WHEN IT’S COMPLETE?
You do! Our goal is to support the talented creators within the Snapdragon Insiders community. You own your intellectual property (IP) from start to finish.
HOW WILL QUALCOMM TECHNOLOGIES EVALUATE APPLICATIONS?
We have a small internal team that will carefully review every application. If we need additional details or decide to select you, we will reach out to you. If you do not hear back from us, don’t worry — you will be kept in mind for future opportunities. Your application will be evaluated based on the content you provide during the application process.
CAN I APPLY FOR MORE THAN ONE AREA?
Absolutely! While filling out your application, please select all the areas you’re interested in creating content.
IF I AM SELECTED FOR A DEVICE, DO I NEED TO ACCEPT?
No. If you are selected, we will reach out to you to offer you the opportunity, along with the specific device terms. You are free to accept the terms and be sent the device or refuse that specific opportunity. If you refuse, you will still be kept in mind for future opportunities unless requested otherwise.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN NO LONGER PARTICIPATE AFTER I RECEIVE A DEVICE?
We understand that there are circumstances that may arise where you can no longer participate after receiving a device for testing. If this occurs during your testing period, we kindly ask you to return the device so we may send it to another Snapdragon Insider who is eager to participate.
IF I’M INVITED TO AN EVENT, DO I HAVE TO ATTEND?
No. Participation is optional, though we appreciate a timely response if you will not be attending so we may extend the invitation to another Snapdragon Insider.
