It’s time for your 15 minutes of fame
In case you haven’t been keeping track, it’s May already — and that can only mean one thing: the mesh conference is less than a month away. Check around the site for more info on the amazing speakers and panelists we have coming, including Mike Arrington of TechCrunch, Jim Buckmaster of Craigslist, Tom Williams and Austin Hill, Christine Herron, Techdirt’s Mike Masnick, Rachel Sklar of Huffington Post — and the list goes on.
Tickets are going fast, but there are still a few left if you hurry 
One thing we’re doing again this year is the “15 Minutes of Fame” segment on each of the two conference days, in which three deserving entrepreneurs and/or their startups get five minutes each (hence the 15 minutes) to talk to the attendees about their idea and why they are the best thing to happen to the Web since YouTube. Last year’s winners included the gang at TakingITGlobal, as well as AreYouFrank.com, Favorville.com and Pixpo. Stowe Boyd wrote about the 15 Minutes here, and Tara Hunt wrote about it here.
Same idea this year: head over to the sign-up form and give us a pitch — in 250 words or less — about you and your company or idea, and tell us why we should give you five minutes in front of the mesh crowd to wow them with your brilliance. If you get selected, you get a free one-day pass to the conference as well as those five minutes of glory.

If you are running a company, or know someone who is, please be sure to get your submission in before the middle of May. You can find more details here. […]
Just curious to know, have the 6 slots been filed? And will you be announcing the presenters on the mesh blog?

[…] Well, perhaps not quite so much, but still, you up on a stage waxing lyrically about your latest gig. That’s what we’re offering up at mesh this year, as we buff up 15 Minutes of Fame for mesh ‘07. Mathew has posted the details on the mesh blog - gist: ” head over to the sign-up form and give us a pitch — in 250 words or less — about you and your company or idea, and tell us why we should give you five minutes in front of the mesh crowd to wow them with your brilliance.
