The Day Series: The Day we turned down TechCrunch for DEMO

Definitely should have told TC that you got into DEMO. TC has an expedited process for companies with a conflict, including acceptance to DEMO. They would have let you know ASAP whether or not you would be invited had you told them the situation.

We were in a quite similar situation a few years back.

The main decision factor should be: which conference will give me the most long-term exposure. I still don't know the answer to that one, by the way, even after all these years.

I'm also very curious to hear feedback from this year's TechCrunch Disrupt. Being in New York, did it generate as much buzz here in the valley as TC50 did?

PS: those days are part of what makes startups fun.
