Invitation to Participate in the EDM08 Innovation Showcase

We would like to invite you to participate in the Innovation Showcase at EDM08. Recognizing the dramatic changes that are underway in this industry and the importance of innovation to success in the directory and search space, this year's Innovation Showcase represents an evolution from our awards program, first introduced in 2006. Last year's winners were WDN Europe and Apptera.

This year, successful entries will have an opportunity to present on June 9th in London at the EDM08 Innovation Showcase session and to discuss their innovation with investors 3i, Delta Partners, DFJ Esprit, DN Capital, and the audience.

Organizations are invited to submit entries, describing the innovation that has made or that will make their product or service successful in this market. Entries are invited in what we see as five key areas of the directory and search ecosystem that we have identified (information service providers, advertising, operators, technology, and content) or in other areas.

TO ENTER. Email the following information to info at whitaker dot com by Monday, May 26:

* Your name;
* your company;
* name of the product or service;
* your email;
* your phone number;
* a description in 250 words or less about your product or service and why it should be selected for presentation at the Innovation Showcase;
* a web link to the product, service, or company for further information.

We will post information, including the name of your product or service, the description of the product or service, and the web link for further information on the Innovation Showcase site. (Note: one entry per company, please.)
