We want to give you the opportunity to expand your influence and let your creativity shine. Introducing the Snapdragon Insiders Access Program.

What is the Snapdragon Insiders Access Program? It’s an opportunity for Snapdragon Insiders to get priority access to new Snapdragon powered device launches, exclusive access to events, and so much more. We want to equip you with tools and new experiences so you can share your feedback with the Snapdragon community and your own audiences. If you’re looking to grow your influence in the tech community, this program is for you.

Here’s the scoop on the Access Program. You get:

  • The opportunity to be among the first to try new Snapdragon powered devices and partner with incredible brands
  • Training from established influencers on how to create engaging content and grow your audience
  • Priority access to Snapdragon Insider events
  • The chance to have your content featured on our official Snapdragon channels

What do you need to do? It’s simple: Apply. (Applicants must be 18 or older and live in the United States.)

If chosen, your name will be added to a list of creators we’ll reach out to when we have the opportunity to share a new device or invite to an exclusive event. Our goal is to support the talented creators within the Snapdragon Insiders community — with an emphasis on supporting a diverse and traditionally underrepresented cohort of tech content creators. 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.

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. 

 

WHAT DEVICES, TECH, AND EXPERIENCES WILL I GET ACCESS TO?

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. We kindly ask that you grant us license to use your content so that we can continue to promote our Snapdragon Insiders community and the various products/services featuring Qualcomm® technologies.

 

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.

 

IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING MY APPLICATION?

No. The Snapdragon Insiders Access Program is launching on January 25, 2023 and will be ongoing. You can submit your application at any time.

 

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 would appreciate it if you 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.

 

CAN I LEAVE THE SNAPDRAGON INSIDERS ACCESS PROGRAM?

Yes, if you would like to be removed from the program, please submit a request here.
