The annual Innotech Conference is coming back to Austin on October 29, 2009. If you haven’t been, it’s the biggest gather of tech people in Austin (short of SXSW Interactive). Last year attendance was at record levels with about 2,000 people at the conference, and you can register here.

There will be a great new addition to the tradeshow portion of Innotech, and that is Startup Row. It’s a chance for younger companies to have a booth at the tradeshow at a significantly reduced price, and there are only 10 spots available. You will have to fill out a short application form. The acceptance criteria are:

• Your company must be less than 2 years old.
• You must be headquartered in Austin or the Central Texas region.
• Your projected 2009 revenue must be less than $1M.

I will be helping to select the companies for Startup Row, as well as for the third year of the Beta Summit. More details will be emerging soon on the Beta Summit.

Get your application in now, as this is a crazy good deal and there are only 10 slots.
