Surf Canyon was recently selected to present at two prestigious conferences.

The first is the Fourth Annual Piper Jaffray Global Internet Summit to be held at the Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach on November 11th and 12th. Mark Cramer will be speaking on the “Searching for the Future” panel with Hakia, to be moderated by Gene Munster, Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst at Piper Jaffray, who previously had this to say about Surf Canyon:

“After having spent time analyzing Surf Canyon’s product, we believe that, because of its ability to quickly and easily enable users to locate relevant information that might otherwise have been impossible to find, real-time personalization represents a significant next step in the evolution of search.”

Also, after the editors and readers of VentureWire voted for the start-ups they view as the most innovative and promising in the technology industry today, Surf Canyon was selected to be among 125 presenting companies at the VentureWire Technology Showcase in Redwood City on November 18th and 19th.
