Engadget has no shortage of readers who don't just love gadgets, they're in the business of making them too. Well, this post goes out to all the industry folk in the house. In joining the TechCrunch20 Conference's panel of experts, I'm charged with helping source some hot new hardware to debut at the show this September. Presenters can expect to hold court with the usual set of luminaries, influencers, and tech journalists, but the best part is unlike other conferences, you don't have to pay off the conference to demo your wares -- you just have to have something really interesting to show. The rules? Simple: whatever your company shows has to debut at TC20, and submissions are due by July 6th.
Interested? Hit me up at

This is a great idea for a show. It could make this show the new hotness! No more of that lame all things digital conference. You should keep this article on the top like a sticky in a webforum for a while so it doesn't get lost in all the iphone mayhem!!

We'll probably post about this again in the near future.

I have 3 but they need to be in patent pending status first. Don't need any P-trolls hits down the road ;^)...

Does this mean that if you receive leaked information about a product one of these tech companies contacted you about first, you won't post it?
Ryan Block @ Jun 20th 2007 4:07PM
It's our standard editorial policy to honor embargoes insofar as they do not affect our normal coverage cycle -- if we received leaked information it's standard for news publications such as our own to run what they received.

Wow, you guys are cut throat. I like it.

Ryan - I can't tell you how pleased we are that you've joined the panel. I can't wait to see some of the gadget startups that are going to be launching this fall.

however, the July 6th deadline is rather tight
