Learning how Companies who need to funraise will look to free up capital. I.e how will Companies who were bootstrapped return to their roots if they can not fund raise the next round. Also, I'm curious to see any Companies who use this recession as an oppertunity and where that next round of innovation lies.

In a year dominated by social media and mobile technologies, it will be interesting to see what’s next in line and how the struggling economy will force companies to adjust their strategies to fit the needs of the American consumer. Overall, viewing the potentially “next big thing†would be inspiring and deserving of appreciation and recognition (of course by me, in attendance).

No seriously, I can get at all this stuff in other ways, if I really want, but it's the critical mass. It's the who-might-I-bump-into-ness. It's the no-I-really-hadn't-thought-of-a-social-spin-on-the-laundrymat type of discussion you might have. Well, actually, I do have to social media/laundry/dry-cleaning thing that's I'm doing now and I really need to go to DEMO 09 to pitch it! JK, really, JK.
