Connected Innovators
The Supernova Connected Innovators program, co-hosted by TechCrunch, recognizes compelling emerging technologies likely to make an impact on the connected future. From scores of applicants, Supernova organizer Kevin Werbach and TechCrunch founder Michael Arrington select top new companies to highlight at Supernova and on the TechCrunch website.
The 2007 Connected Innovators:

With a over 120 submissions, the competition was fierce. The companies we selected all have extraordinary potential to create new markets and shape the connected future. Most are making significant announcements at the conference.
Format:
Due to its popularity, we are extending the on-site program. The Connected Innovators showcase will take place on June 21 at the Westin St. Francis during the conference general sessions. The selected companies will have the opportunity to deliver 5-minute on-stage product presentations/demonstrations. In addition to commentary from Kevin Werbach and Michael Arrington, the session will include feedback from top industry influencers. Presentation guidelines and formatting instructions will be distributed and discussed with all participants following the selection process.
Mike Arrington, editor-in-chief of the TechCrunch technology Weblog, will be on-site to review all presentations. He will provide detailed product analysis post-event on the coveted TechCrunch.com site.
For program participants, the key deadlines are below:
