The TechCrunch50 agenda is simple: we put on stage the 50 best companies we can find to launch new products over a three-day format, September 8-10, 2008. The selection process is based on merit alone to help ensure we showcase the best ideas regardless of financial means. We invite you to submit your company for consideration.

In addition to 50 great new products, we’re assembling an amazing line up of speakers and a panel of expert advisors to spark meaningful discussion and debate during the conference. There will be an action-packed DemoPit, full of other early-stage start-up ideas, as well as working breakfasts and lunches with topics aimed at helping start-ups succeed. In typical TechCrunch style, we’ll save room for socializing too.

The specific agenda will unfold over the coming weeks and months on our dedicated conference site and blog. Keep a lookout for new details as they’re released.

Your participation will help make the conference a success, hope to see you there,
