The RWW 2WAY Summit is not a pitch event, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great opportunity for tech companies to showcase their products. So today we invited a group of startups and established companies to present at our conference, a continuation of what’s become a tradition at ReadWriteWeb’s tech events: Speed Geeking.
Rather than taking turns on stage going through slides and talking about a product, speed geeking has startups presenting simultaneously. Audience members circulate from table to table, watching demos – not PowerPoints. The tech companies have five minutes to give their presentations and answer questions, and then a whistle is blown (or in this case, our own Marshall Kirkpatrick shouts “Time’s up”) and people migrate to another table. It’s an interesting way for participants to see demos in a more casual (yet very high energy) situation. And it’s a chance for companies to answer questions and get feedback from a wide range of tech enthusiasts.
The following companies showed off their wares today:
