The fifth Sun Startup Camp(SM) will be hosted by Sun Startup Essentials on May 4-5 2008 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA.

What is it? Startup Camp is an interactive “unconference”, i.e., no large conference panels all day. Instead, Startup Camp involves leader-moderated discussions that everyone is free to contribute to.

Interested participants may also publish topic ideas for discussion sessions and view those that others are proposing by visiting the Discussion Ideas page.

Confirmed Speakers/panelists include:
Pete Cashmore
Jonathan Schwartz
David Berlind
Om Malik
Matt Marshall
Brian Solis
S. Neil Vineberg
Jason Hoffman

The event also includes SpeedGeeking, where startup founders can compete in the Best Startup Contest by presenting a 5-minute pitch of their business to VC led groups of peers. The top 3 participants who receive the most votes win prizes such as a new server, a 24″ monitor, or an iPod Touch.

Start off Startup Camp by joining Mashable’s Pete Cashmore and Kristen Nicole for brunch on Sunday morning (May 4th, 2008) from 10 - 11 am.
