Come join fellow entrepreneurs, investors and strategic partners to explore the next wave of Media/Advertising Innovation. Despite the tough economy and the challenges traditional media companies are facing, numerous startups are paving the path to creating new revenue streams and are addressing inefficiencies in legacy business models that are no longer sustainable.

We will have an all-star panel of media investors, entrepreneurs, and other industry influencers critique startups that address various aspects of media technology from community platforms, digital platforms and advertising software tools.

Below are the three presenting companies and registration will be limited to the first 50 registrants.
