• FortKnock's product CyberKeyp http://www.fortknock.com/ (Hans van Rietschote) Up till now authentication solutions always had to walk a fine line between being usuable by ordinary people and being secure enough. CyberKeyp is the first ever authentication solution that is both simple to use and totally secure! In the talk I will explain how CyberKeep will revolutionize the way people authenticate themselves. And no hardware needed! Our website is at http://www.fortknock.com which has a demo but the talk will be much more entertaining than this online demo
• CSRware  http://www.csrware.com/ (John Collins) CSRware enables organizations to easily measure, visualize, and optimize their sustainability and energy efforts through an on-demand performance management software solution. Customer's realize immediate savings by controlling energy, carbon, water, and waste while enhancing their brand and creating a compelling competitive advantage.
• WorkingPoint  http://www.workingpoint.com/ -- Think the small business space is unexciting and bookkeeping is boring?  Check this out: Tate Holt, CEO of WorkingPoint will demo the hot new online business management system for very small businesses.  This solution is complete (with invoicing, expense management, full double-entry bookkeeping, inventory, contact management, and a starter web presence), uncomplicated, high quality, and is FREE for one or two users!  Naturally, WorkingPoint offers a premium version (for $10/month) to accomodate businesses with more advanced needs.

• Intive TAPaw http://intive.com
• web2express http://web2express.org (AJ Chen) Social media has made open communication and sharing a norm today, which benefits everyone tremendously. However, it also becomes a challenge to take full advantage of the huge amount of user-generated contents in real time. Web2express.org is experimenting new ways to help consumers to conveniently follow trending topics and marketers to efficiently monitor and engage in social media. The result of this open project is the free real time analysis web site - Web2express Digest, which uses open semantic and NLP tools to analyze millions of twitter conversations and blogs as they come online each day.
• CRM Text Solutions - auto vertical demo: http://dealertext.com/demo/ 
• LectureMaker http://www.lecturemaker.com/ (Ron Fredericks) LectureMaker is a video production and publishing company specializing in creation of business and high-tech lectures. It has already established itself as an events capture and real-time IP video broadcasting service. Now LectureMaker is ready to open its video studio in Sunnyvale to marketers, sales people, engineers, scientists, and professors for creation of their own high quality video lectures. Members who join LectureMaker’s video studio get hands on training and support in the use of green screen virtual environments, real-time streaming, and public speech training.  Big universities and fortune 500 companies have their own in-house video production services. Now LectureMaker’s members can have access to the best in class equipment and support as if they too have their own video production service following a time-share model. A demo will be presented showing how software and hardware companies can create and publish video presentations using the special features available within LectureMaker’s video studio.
• BruteSoft http://www.brutesoft.com/
• ZoomPool http://www.zoompool.com/ (Donna Horne) ZoomPool is green social rideshare matching service which helps event attendees and other people looking for occasional trip companions. We help people save gas money and parking hassles while they get to drive in the carpool lane (drive green!) and make new compatible friends and business associates.

  ZoomPool also works with event coordinators providing them with online tools to aggregate attendees looking to rideshare to their event. We help them increase event registration while decreasing parking space requirements.

Waitlist (we'll probably get to one or two of these)
