As 2009 opens to a new year, we’re holding the first Web Innovators Group event a few months from now on Tuesday March 10th.
We’ll continue with the same format of self-/angel-funded startups demo’ing to the crowd in main dish and side dish formats and award “Audience Choice” prize to the crowd’s favorite in their respective categories.Mark it on your calendars now and feel free to register well in advance on our dedicated registration page, as this one will sure be a special event.
And if your early-stage startup is interested in presenting in either forum that evening, just reach out to me at david at webinnovatorsgroup dot com. Please include the name of your company/site/product, a brief overview and description, and a link to a live site or password-protected beta demo site.The sooner you give me a heads up the better, but I won’t make decisions until about a month before the event.
Happy New Year from the Web Innovators Group! What a great event we had a month or so ago in December. With the addition of the Skyline Suites room for the Main and Side Dish company tables, we had plenty of room for the crowd to spread out and network before, during, and after the two programmed sessions. As usual, we had a number of blog posts and reviews recapping the event. Nathan Burke, Bill Ross, Doug Russell, and Sebastian Schmieg all wrote great overviews. And Bruce Lewis took a number of photos.
Congratulations to Local Motors for winning the “Audience Choice Award” — the crowd voted via text message selecting it to be the favorite of the Main Dish presentations. And a special thank you to James Geshwiler of the CommonAngels for leading a special breakout session on angel capital financing. You can find his entire powerpoint presentation posted here:
Finally, thank you to Matthew Mamet and Matt Kaplan of PermissionTV for their help in taping and producing a video of the entire event (posted over at their company’s blog).
