Just received word about the “upgrade” of the TechCrunch Event. It just gets better by the day

I look forward to to the event – flying all the way from Israel to attend.

Dang, people sure love that whole HP/Apple garage metaphor. Can we get a survey during the startup talk for people to raise their hands if they’ve typed a line of code in an actual garage?

Yes, Justin.TV Im sure can handle the load also! Im attending and have my own lifecast at http://www.just...ocialalarmclock.

It would be great to get the yes to lifecast the event and have my stream or maybe another lifecaster’s stream embedded here at TechCrunch.

Thank you for everything and maybe I will hear from you! If not I look forward to attending the conference and lifecasting everything(traveling to San Fran, etc) but the conference!

If Mike’s interested, Ustream would be happy to provide the infrastructure for a live video broadcast. We’re confident we can handle the load.

I am enrolled in a distance education program so I opted for the scholastic ticket. I assume there is no age limit as long as you are enrolled. Otherwise I can’t afford the ticket with the taxes we have to pay for July/August. If there is a problem with distance education students getting the student rate, please let me know immediately so I can cancel my trip.

Nice. Looking forward to it.

Who the heck has $2500 to attend this? Not me. Being a poor techy in startupland sucks moose balls I guess.

@20. no service would be able to handle the stream. way too many viewers would show up to turn in.

Where is the video coverage of the live event?

You should also invite “fake” Steve Jobs, et al to speak…

Why not tape the entire conference? Maybe its not possible but i’m sure someone would sponsor the video

i think you should have left the magic number at 20…
i mean 20 is already a lot, to considerably digest all that.

i can imagine after the 5th or so presentation, all the rest just become some number with no genuine connection.

I guess streaming the conference or lifecasting is not allowed?

Like to share the experience with family and friends, but have no intentions of doing so without approval.

TechCrunch20 sounds Web2.0ish, which I think is better than TechCrunch40. But more is definitely better!

Sounds interesting, but I will watch the videos. $2,495 for two days — ouch! Seems almost all the conferences like this are for tremendously expensive. Please someone organize one like this that is affordable — hold it in a large venue if you have to, but make it for the common man/woman. Unless the speaker fees people charge are extreme, it seems this is would be possible.

I agree with the experts who predict the future of the web will be about lots of wonderful little things rather than just one big shiny thing — perhaps the bump from 20 to 40 keynote talks has something to do with this.

Best of luck with the event ; )

Like mentioned in an earlier comment, how about doing a live stream for this?

Zuckerberg may not have been the founder Michael, and maybe you could bring up the issue.

How about live streaming of audio and/or video? Given the impressive range of industry titans you’ve assembled (and undoubtedly startups), this is shaping up to to be an event worth watching and discussing live. And I think theres a pretty vast audience who would be interested in that.

maybe cut the zuckerberg talk in half so people don’t start to squirm due to his overwhelming awkwardness. 45 minutes of that might be too painful to bear…

Sounds good. Can’t wait for the videos.

Michael– props for planning on posting the videos! This looks like a great conference and it means a lot that you’re going to extend the reach to those of us who cant afford/have time to attend.

That’s great news, thanks Michael – really looking forward to hearing these.

Bryan – yes, we’ll have video archives of the keynotes and demos available after the conference on the website.
