Isn't there or shouldn't there be some place for *both* "high end" showcases like DEMO (which claims to give companies huge spotlight, state-of-the-art ways to present etc.) and more "grassroots" forums like TechCrunch50? <br><br>Note I use quotes on both because I've not been to either event. But it seems to me that different kinds of venues that have different participants, different cultures, different modes of discussion, and so on can only be a good thing. Agreed all round.
