SIIA Previews heads west to The SIIA Netgain Conference from May 18 - 20, 2008 at The Palace Hotel in San Francisco, CA.

This SIIA Previews is a little different from the previous two Previews, which were held as part of the SIIA Summit in New York and focused solely on content.  For the NetGain Previews we sought early stage companies in content and software. We had over 75 entries and after several rounds of judging and presentations choose the final 10 Presenting Companies. 

The Previews Steering Committee consisted of myself and Charles Terry, Brian Ville and the SIIA Staff - Ken Wasch, Ed Keating, David Thomas and the ever helpful Jennifer Hansen.

The Final Presenting Companies have gone through 3 rounds of presentations and coaching to arrive at the 5 minute presentation you will see at the Netgain Conference. Each presentation will be followed by a 5 minute Q&A.

I hope you will enjoy these 10 company presentations and encourage you to learn more about their companies during the conference as all 10 will be attending the NetGain conference and events.
