Dinosaur Robots and more!
Geek out to 5 Minute Live Demos, Q&A, Bar, Munchies and 200 of your favorite new tech buddies.
We'll be mixing it up with a handful of some pretty interesting web tools, including how to rent -- or put up for rent -- anything online, a search-within-video engine to help you better target ads; and a service to view that conference that you missed (or encode the conference you're holding); and an IT search tool that can index and digest data like a champ.
And, we'll get hand's-on with the world's smallest computer and we'll meet Pleo -- the famous robotic dinosaur! Touch him. He loves it. Let him rub up against your leg. He's got feelings too. It's going to be fun!
Like I said -- it's a mix -- and it's all good.

About Poker 2.0
Poker 2.0 tournaments support the startup community by bringing them together in a relaxed and fun atmosphere where ideas are shared, relationships are forged and trash talk is encouraged. Players include founders and execs of startup and early stage technology companies as well as the investment ecosystem, including angel investors, VCs, investment banking and venture law. The tournament will last approximately 3 hours and 100% of the tournament buyins are divided among the winners. The stakes are kept low in deference to the bootstrapping startups. For this tournament, the buyin is $10 and there will be unlimited re-buys for the first four rounds. Trophies, awards and bonuses will also be distributed to the players who earn them.
