Startup Riot is hitting its third year in 2010. It is absolutely not a pay to pitch event and has never been - selected presenting entrepreneurs pay NOTHING to present. They also don't pay for a booth or anything else other than their own travel costs. In addition, I'm putting together a travel assistance fund to help entrerpeneurs that need money to pay to come to the event. All startups regardless of stage or need are welcome to apply. The only ones that aren't are services 'startups' with zero innovation (think startup law or accounting firms or consulting practices).

I can't find anywhere on the website that states where (geographically) this actually takes place.

whoops! sorry - Atlanta, Georgia. Will fix right now.

Good stuff. Giving a booth/table to each presenter at an event that doesn't charge startups to present is a truly class act.

I am sure the audience prize will make it more exciting too.

I'm going to be submitting OtherNum to present! I had a blast last year and saw a lot of great startups. I met pivotal members of the community and got a lot of great ideas. This is going to be an EPIC event.

We'll be in Atlanta for PyCon that weekend as it is (and you all should be, too!). This looks like a great way to maximize utility on those travel costs.

Dude - thanks for the heads up on this. Will reach out to the organizers and see if we can help each other out.
