&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Judgment on Dec. 2, 2008:&lt;/b&gt; This did not occur in the required timeframe, which the community predicted.  Closed and judged as having not occurred.  -- The Industry Standard &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original prediction:&lt;/b&gt; The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.techcrunch50.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TechCrunch50&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://demo.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;DEMOfall&lt;/a&gt; events surely butted heads this year. Both contenders got it on back-to-back in San Francisco, barely allowing us to embrace the excitement. Competition drives the market, yes, but did their proximity &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.cnet.com/8301-13772_3-10033261-52.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;really drive anything&lt;/a&gt; except a coffee binge? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;. . .or was it spectacular, enough to up the ante even further?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DEMO’s signature Spring event in early March will again bless us with a bevy of new start-ups. Will we also see TC50 contend with DEMO in early 2009?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prediction: This is a prediction that TechCrunch will announce a Spring version of TC50. We are defining Spring as sometime between February 1, 2009 and June 1, 2009 – for the dates of the conference, not the announcement of it, to be clear.&lt;/p&gt;
