Acquia is participating in another Launch Pad event, this time for the Enterprise 2.0 conference. For this Launch Pad event, technology companies were asked to submit a one-minute video pitch to be voted on by the Enterprise 2.0 community. There will be multiple rounds, with four companies eventually on stage at the Enterprise 2.0 conference to present and demonstrate in front of a live audience.

Not only does Dries Buytaert get selected as one the top young tech entrepreneurs by BusinessWeek, but one of his newest ventures — Acquia, has been chosen to launch their company at the Launch Pad - Venture Capital Edition during the web2.0 expo today in San Francisco.

According to the web2.0 website, many new Web 2.0 companies have to get past the scrutiny of many a venture capital firm. With this in mind, this year’s Launch Pad will not only give new startups the opportunity to launch their company, but it will also provide them with VC and audience real time feedback.

Drupalcon is the twice-yearly gathering of Drupalers to learn about, discuss and advance Drupal, and to network with other community members. Come to Szeged, Hungary for this event for August 27 to 30, 2008 and experience this thriving community in person yourself!

Web2Open is an “unconference”—where anyone with a Web 2.0 Expo badge can share knowledge and join in open discussions with the community at large in three different ways:

• Open-Grid Sessions: You simply schedule your topic, show up, and lead the discussion. These can be scheduled onsite.
• Pre-Scheduled Roundtables: Join an open conversation with a panel of community members scheduled in advance.

Come visit Acquia at Infoworld OSBC, the Open Source Business Conference.

The theme for OSBC this year is "Putting Open Source to Work". Presentations and panel discussions in OSBC's fifth year will explore how both traditional and non-traditional open source businesses are achieving benefits from platform flexibility and better performance to cost savings.

Come see Acquia speakers and visit the Acquia booth at Enterprise 2.0 2008.
