Conference Launch Pad program which provides a unique public forum for unveiling
new social tools within the enterprise. The Enterprise 2.0 Conference is the
first and largest worldwide conference and demonstration pavilion dedicated to

enterprise to make businesses more agile, efficient and adaptable in today’s
market. The event’s Launch Pad finalists will present their new 2.0 tools and
services to a live audience on Wednesday, June 24th during the Enterprise 2.0
Conference at the Westin Waterfront in Boston.

year posted their submissions first in Twitter format. Top submissions by

intense rounds that resulted in over 15,000 votes from the enterprise 2.0
community, the four Launch Pad finalists will present their ideas to the
audience of creators, evangelists and adopters of cutting edge technologies,
who will then decide the winner. The winning Launch Pad participant will
receive a free exhibit space in the 2010 Enterprise 2.0 Conference Demo
Pavilion. Enterprise 2.0 Launch Pad is organized by Stowe Boyd, an
internationally recognized authority on social applications and their impact on
business and society.
