TechCrunch20 Conference Site Now Live
Written by on April 16th, 2007 in Ajax News.
The official TechCrunch20 Conference website is now live, and we’ve announced that we are taking company submissions and attendee registrations. The dedicated blog is published at techcrunch20.com/blog. GigaOm was the first to write about this, followed by Jessica Gwynn at the San Francisco Chronicle.
Jason Calacanis and I first announced the conference in late January.
We’ve now finalized the dates (September 17-18, 2007) and a location (the Palace Hotel in San Francisco).
The format of TechCrunch20 is simple: Twenty of the hottest new startups will announce and demo their products over a two day period. And they don’t pay a cent to do this. They will be selected to participate based on merit alone.
We are also assembling an amazing group of twenty experts to assist us with the conference. These experts will help recommend the final startups to present at TechCrunch20. And they will also participate at the conference - they’ll watch company presentations and discuss the merits of each with robust audience participation.
Confirmed industry experts include Marc Andreessen (Co-founder, Ning), Chris Anderson (Editor-In-Chief, Wired Magazine), Roelof Botha (Partner, Sequoia Capital), Mark Cuban (Founder, HDNet), Om Malik (Founder, GigaOm), Robert Scoble (Scobleizer), and Dave Winer (Scripting News).
See you there!
