The stage will also welcome ten yet-to-be-chosen “Showoff” startups, who will be given the opportunity to pitch their company and lead a Q&A session.

“This is just the start of our line-up,” said Twiistup producer Francisco Dao. “It’s really exciting to be able to put together an eclectic stage program that really captures the convergence of technology, media and innovation.” Dao continued to explain that the currently confirmed speakers represent only a portion of the expected agenda.

So just how much will this social media bonanza cost you? Several ticket packages are available, including a $79 single-evening ticket that grants you access to the many open-bars. Passes to the full two-day event are available for $227 until June 20, when the price will be bumped up to $297. Tickets are limited, to be sure to get yours quickly here.

Press passes for bloggers and media are available, but limited. To request a complimentary ticket, please e-mail twiistup@lewispr.com.

…If the recently leaked images of the Twiistup 6 floorplan are any indication, this is going to be one HOT event!

Twiistup 6 Offers Free Showcase For Ten Startups

by SarahTownsend on May 18, 2009

by Sarah Townsend

Twiistup is the premier SoCal event connecting innovators and professionals in the media/tech industry, and fortunately for ten rising startups, it’s opening the door and is giving those startups the opportunity to “Showoff” what they’ve got free of charge at this summer’s Twiistup 6.

The uber-trendy LA-based conference, recently bought by unnamed investors and promptly handed over to event producer Francisco Dao, is the golden ticket for startups to gain exposure and visibility in front of investors, entrepreneurs and key influencers alike.

“Sponsors are paying thousands of dollars for space that we’re giving to Showoffs for free,” said Dao. “If you’re a startup who wants exposure there’s no reason not to throw your hat in the ring.”

The formerly locals-only conference recently expanded to include businesses from around the world, so anyone can submit their company or product for one of these ten highly valuable slots. Additionally, the conference is adding an entire day to the line-up, giving “Showoffs” that much more exposure.

Submissions will be selected in two rounds – the first ending on June 12, and the second on June 26. Entry judges will be choosing winners based on each startups’ contribution to technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, value and appeal, along with originality and thought-provoking content.

The highly-esteemed panel of judges includes bub.blicio.us’ own Brian Solis, along with:

Salesforce.com

Mixergy.com

Twiistup 6 will take place on Thursday and Friday, July 30 and 31, 2009 at the massive 23,000 sq ft Universal Hilton in Universal City, Calif.

To submit your startup for consideration, visit www.twiistup.com/call-for-showoffs/.

You better act quickly, though. Submissions made by June 12 will have the best chance of securing one of these coveted ten openings.

Media and press can obtain complimentary tickets by e-mailing twiistup@lewispr.com.
