I had a TBNT last year. Went to a MTC about 2 months after the TBNT email (you need an invite for this event, I emailed them acknowledging my TBNT and just stated I'm still interested and want to learn what I can do to make my app stand out by meeting with a Chief. They were nice enough to invite me without waiting 6 months)
They located my app at the MTC and I was hired that same month. YMMV.
