The Next Web 2008 Roundup April 6, 2008
Phew. So these last couple of days have been absolutely amazing for us. As mentioned before, we were invited to present our latest developments around Project E at the PRE expo at the Next Web Conference 2008. So, Paul and I (Arjen was back at the studio, engineering like a madman) joined several UGSA alumni like Berend, Douwe-Sjoerd and Sanneke of My Name is Hare; Edward, Roy and their main man Dagan of DraftFCB and Peter and Ralph of Soco (Multitouch Table). Our exposition space was humble and modest compared to the post-funding startup expo upstairs, but a nice alternative to the neon coloured Web 2.0 potpourri.
With an interesting lineup of speakers, we got to see some of the world’s leading experts on the web front. Plus, a broad variety of interesting and less interesting startup pitches. The live Diggnation recording was insane, the free beers provided by Netlog and huge torrent of geek fandom ended the first day with a boom. The rest of the conference was friendly, we got to breathe in a great combination of tech entrepreneurship and creativity, meeting some great new people along the way.
Project E got a lot of attention from, well, basically everyone. We talked to possible partners, clients, VCs, and developers: just what we came for. We even got them to pose with our new products, as seen on our Flickr. The Next couple of weeks will be really interesting, so be sure to check back to see what news emerges from our Amsterdam headquarters.
