The Next Web is about the future of the web, so it is obvious that startups play a significant role during the Conference. 24 startups will do a 5 minute presentation on main stage. During breaks all attendees and press can visit the startups at their booth in the Company Arena (same area as where the coffee and lunch is). This way startups can present themselves in the best way and get the most traction out of the conference.

The last two on stage companies will be selected by the audience, read how this works

5 minutes = 300 seconds and not one second more. Come to the core of your startup. Prepare a great presentation and bedazzle the (critical) audience.

So, do you have anything to launch? Did you build the next flickr or facebook? Do you have such a transforming technology that can change the way we live? Will your company disrupt a whole sector? and do you want to show it to the world? Present your startup at The Next Web Conference in front of industry journalists, Venture Capitalists, bloggers, web savvies and innovators.
