March 6, 2009 | Comments |

In Brussels on March 12, Plugg, the European startup conference organized by TechCrunch’s Robin Wauters, promises to be an excellent event with a host of knowledgeable speakers and lively competition.

Wauters has extended a 15 percent discount off the €450 registration price. Simply head on over to the sign-up page hosted by Amiando and enter the promotional code plugg09-media-venturebeat at the bottom.

Presenting at the event will be some of Europe’s most prolific tech pundits, each of them specialized in an area they’ll highlight in a keynote or panel. Speakers include Mike Butcher (TechCrunch UK), Gerd Leonhard (Media Futurist), Bart Decrem (Tapulous), Anil Hansjee (Google), Dries Buytaert (Drupal, Acquia), Inmaculada Martinez (Stradbroke Advisors), Lisa Sounio (Dopplr), Fred Destin (Atlas Ventures), and more.

Plugg recently announced 20 finalists, selected out of a group of 133 companies for its prestigious Startups Rally. Each will have the opportunity to pitch to the audience and a professional jury on stage at the conference. And one will receive the Plugg Startup of the Year Award.

See the post on TechCrunch for a rundown of the presenters.
