It looks like the TechCrunch 50 conference and Demo are overlapping their dates. I suspect TC 50 will be huge and Demo will feel some pain. Kind of like what Craigslist is doing to newspapers.
I’d love to see the trend continue of providing a free platform for promising young companies without hitting their wallet. I suspect TC 50 will get better quality companies with their model and will grow fantastically for the next few years with many high quality venture and big company sponsors as word spreads about the conference.
