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.
See you in a few months.
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.
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).
We’re two weeks away until our December 9th Web Innovators Group meeting and we’ve lined up another solid set of demonstrators. The doors officially open at 6:30pm at the Grand Ballroom in the Cambridge Royal Sonesta, with the “main dish” presentations to the entire crowd starting at 7pm:
Following those presentations, each of our “side dish” demonstrators will have an opportunity to give a quick 30-second overview of their service to the audience followed by a showcase of their company at tables spread throughout the periphery of the room during the unstructured networking portion of the evening:
Later at 8pm, after a brief intermission, we’re holding a separate strictly optional breakout session hosted by James Geshwiler, Managing Director of the Common Angels, entitled “Raising Angel Financing 101.”
Last month’s WebInno19 was a great event. Both Limeduck and The Bostonist blogs wrote solid summaries of the evening, with the latter including an interview with the Audience Choice award winner Prasad Thammineni of Pixily. Over at the @Bar blog, they’ve posted videos of the two other main dish presentations, Givvy and Brring.
With that, I am happy to announce that I’ve just opened up the registration for our next WebInno event to be held on December 9, 2008. As has become customary, WebInno20 will be held at 6:30pm that evening at the Royal Sonesta in
So mark WebInno20 on your calendars now - and please register in advance on our dedicated registration page to help us anticipate the crowd-size, print name tags, and gauge interest in the special break-out session. If your early-stage startup is interested in presenting in either manner 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. I’ll likely make final decisions and post selections mid-November, but the sooner you share a heads up the better, as I am beginning to prioritization process already.
It’s just one week away until our September 15th Web Innovators Group meeting and we’ve lined up another solid set of demonstrators. The doors officially open at 6:30pm at the Grand Ballroom in the Cambridge Royal Sonesta, with the “main dish” presentations to the entire crowd starting at 7pm:

Here in the middle of August, it’s almost hard to believe we’re almost a month away from the post- Labor Day WebInno gathering on September 15th at 6:30pm at the Royal Sonesta in
Wow… what a turnout we had for last week’s WebInno18. Don Dodge estimated that there were 800 people in the room and called it a
As mentioned on Tuesday night at the WebInno large group event, I am continuing my series of WebInno Dinner Groups – gatherings of a dozen or so entrepreneurs and managers focused on a specific area who want to connect to discuss and share experiences about this topic. In contrast to the larger regular large WebInno events, these are more intimate sessions with an opportunity for in-depth discussion. The first five dinners were devoted to the topics “Widgets and Advertising,” the “Intersection of Mobile and the Web,” and “Virtual Items and Virtual Worlds,” “The Secrets of Social Network Platform Apps,” and “eCommerce 2.0.” The next one I am planning is to be focused on the topic “Monetizing via Ad Networks.” If this discussion-area sounds like a gathering which you would want to participate, please reach out to me (david at webinnovatorsgroup dot com) sharing a bit of your relevant background and interest. Depending on response and availability, I’ll then organize an evening for us to get together in upcoming weeks (likely in August).
It’s just over two weeks away until our July 15th Web Innovators Group meeting and we’ve lined up another great set of demonstrators for the event. As usual, the doors officially open at 6:30pm at the Grand Ballroom in the Cambridge Royal Sonesta, with the “main dish” presentations to the entire crowd starting at 7pm:
As a special treat, Webnotes will be providing a “sneak peak” of their soon-to-be-launched service which is currently in closed private beta, and will be exclusively opening the service to WebInno attendees the day of the event. Snipd will also be sharing a pre-launch inside look at their service.
Everyone who is interested in web and mobile innovation is encouraged to attend the free event. Please RSVP (and find additional details) on the event page (http://webinno18.eventbrite.com/) if you plan to join us so we are able to print name tags and appropriately size the room.
As I’ve mentioned at the large WebInno events and on this blog, I’ve begun a series of WebInno Dinner Groups – gatherings of a dozen or so entrepreneurs and managers focused on a specific topic who want to connect to discuss and share experiences within their domain. In contrast to the larger regular large WebInno events, these are more intimate sessions with an opportunity for in-depth discussion. The first four dinners were devoted to the topics “Widgets and Advertising,” the “Intersection of Mobile and the Web,” and “Virtual Items and Virtual Worlds,” and “The Secrets of Social Network Platform Apps.”
