Previewing SIIA Previews
This week is the annual SIIA Information Industry Summit in New York.
New for this year is a 1/2 day event Monday afternoon entitled SIIA Previews. SIIA Previews focuses on emerging companies in the content and content technology space.
Previews kicks off with a look at the deal making side of the content industry. Joel Dreyfuss, of Red Herring, moderates a panel including Rene Benedetto of Halyard Capital, Justin Sadrian of Warburg Pincus, RRE Ventures General Partner Will Porteous, Relegence President Steve Fadem and Lex Miron of event host CIBC World Markets.
Following that are three sessions each featuring startup companies in the space:
* Content Creators, will include brief presentations by lead generation firm Decision Tree Media, vertical search provider Generate, social search provider Eurekster and social software provider Near-Time.
* Content Delivery Companies will feature rich media provider Pando Networks, tagging software Inform Technologies, RealTimeMatrix and video network platform Dragonfly.

Fred Wilson will deliver the keynote.
Connectivity permitting, I plan to blog the presentations and discussions.
