Expected presentations:

• SportsVision - this is definitely a “game changer”. All those cool graphics you see during a televised sports game? It is most likely the creation of Mt. View-based SportsVision. Presentation will include on-air product usage, overview of technology, and new directions and applications. Rand Pendleton 
• MobClix - Mobclix transforms mobile applications into businesses (currently iPhone and Android). Mobclix is the first complete platform that not only allows developers to understand who its users are and how they are interacting with its application, but also provides the tools to improve application performance. Mobclix provides an effective and efficient way to optimize and create better applications that provide better conversions. Vishal Gurbuani 
• Mobile Broadband Update – in the past several months, four major events have occurred that may turn cellular network operators into open, broadband wireless internet service providers that enable entirely new end-user value propositions. Join us to find out what happened. Tom McKay 
• Philippe Bossut – presentation & demonstration of user interface for Second Life based on human movement and gesture. This was a prototype commissioned by Mitch Kapor, Chairman of Linden Lab, creator of Second Life. Second Life is one of the most successful virtual world on the internet with over 1 million regular users. 
• Crossloop - Vikram Subramanim, vice president of products will demonstrate CrossLoop, an online services marketplace that enables individuals to seek out and obtain services such as technical support, translation, web design from experts.
