Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten,

Amsterdam (The Netherlands) will be buzzing on April 3, 2008 when Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht will present and record their famous Diggnation show during the third edition of The Next Web Conference.

Diggnation is the biggest weekly online TV show averaging 500.000 viewers per episode. It is highly popular and influential amongst internet professionals. This will be the first time that Diggnation will be recorded from the European mainland and The Next Web Conference is very proud to host this unique event.

Diggnation is breaking new grounds for web-based video and as a testament Virgin America has recently announced that they will include Diggnation in their entertainment systems. Diggnation has sprung out of Digg.com and discusses the most funny and bizarre news of the week on the web.

Diggnation is one of the shows of Revision3, founded by Kevin Rose, David Prager and Jay Adelson, is the internet TV leader for the next generation.
