SIIA Previews Lineup Announced
The SIIA has just released the list of companies which will be presenting at the 2008 SIIA Previews. Previews is part of the annual SIIA Information Industry Summit, and provides a forum for early stage content and content technology companies to present to potential investors, partners and clients.
The companies showcased at last year’s Previews included a number of emerging leaders such as Generate, Near-Time and Attributor, among others.
This year’s lineup looks quite strong. The keynote will be Kevin Ryan, former DoubleClick CEO and currently co-Chairman of Alley Corp.
Presenting companies include:
- FeeDisclosure.com, which provide consumers with transparency into the fees surrounding real estate and mortgage transactions;
- ExpoTV, the leading provider of user-generated video product reviews;
- Courtroom Connect, a provider of video-based coverage of trials, depositions and hearings
- ArchieMD, a physician led education company offering a massive library of scientific and health imagery;
- Health Monitoring Systems, which provides analytics of aggregated healthcare providers;
- Linkstorm, who provide navigation on top of advertising;
- Vator.tv, a professional network for pitching business ideas, founded by ex-Marketwatch columnist Bambi Francisco;
- Lingospot, a search and aggregation service that enables publishers to more easily cross-link relevant content;
- Keibi Technologies, a user-generated content enabler, offering technology for the moderation and classification of UGC; and
- TutorVista, an eLearning innovator
Much of the innovation in the content industry comes from these new upstarts, so it’s a great forum to identify potentially disruptive technologies and business models.
