Next week I will be in New York City.  As usual, I have a litany of meetings set up… unlike most of my visits to NYC though, this time around, I will be in town all week (usually I am in for the day or a few days, tops).

Next Wednesday, I will be at Business Insider’s Startup 2009 shindig.  I like to cover these events the first time around, as I did for Paid Content’s or Tech Crunch’s first conference.

There’s the top 10 finalist startups, a bunch of speakers such as Jason Calacanis, John Battelle, Chris Hughes and Kevin Ryan.  Why aren’t I speaking?  It’s only a day affair (haha).

The finalists will be judged by George Bell, Rick Heitzmann, Eric Hippeau, Jeanne Sullivan, David Pakman, as well as writers Matt Marshall and Dan Frommer… and of course, the whole thing is MC’d (I presume) by Henry Blodget, who to his credit has managed to launch and take Business Insider (formerly known as Alley Insider) from a one-man blog (initially called Internet Outsider) to one of the fastest growing blog empires, having raised an additional $5M in funding this past month.

If nothing else, should be interesting.

As well, I will be meeting a bunch of WatchMojo.com clients, partners and lots of other fun stuff, I am sure.

Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or good old fashion email at ash[at]watchmojo.com.
