The lineup for Startup Rockstars #5 is below - a great lineup including an update from past presenter Contribune. The June 3 event is hosted by Latham & Watkins LLP (note - this is a change from the previous announcement of Qorvis) in Washington DC, which is the same location as the March 2009 event.
Please register here (click) (* Note: because of security requirements, your name needs to be on the list in order to enter the building. Please bring your ID)
There are a few additions to the format that are being worked on as well.
The list:
1. Contribune (www.contribune.org)
2. ThinkTalk Networks (www.thinktalk.com)
3. Legal River (www.legalriver.com)
4. Revamped Media (www.revamp.com)
5. Genius Rocket (www.geniusrocket.com)
We listened, and having a smaller lineup will allow keeping to the time schedule, and also allow more networking afterwards.

The lineup for presenters will be posted shortly, as we gear up for Startup Rockstars #5 on June 3, at (updated) Latham & Watkins LLP Qorvis. It is likely to be bigger & bolder, and we will introduce a few new twists.
Taking our own advice, along with many of our attendees’ advice, we are cutting back on the number of demos. We’ll also go back to having more rigor around the time limit for presentations.
Some sponsors are shaping up as well. If you or your organization are interested, please contact us.
Oh, and Kady has found an excellent guitarist who should be available to provide live music during the event. We’ve had live music in the past, and it adds to the atmosphere & energy of the events.
