Diggnation is the biggest weekly online TV show with an average of 500.000 viewers per episode. It is highly popular and influential amongst internet-professionals. This will be the first time Diggnation will be recorded from the European mainland. 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 they will include Diggnation in their entertainment systems. Diggnation has sprung out of the highly successful Digg.com: the internet news portal with an average of 20 million unique monthly visitors, where readers are the editors, and discusses the most funny- and bizarre news of the week on the web. Diggnation is also one of the shows of Revision3, founded by Kevin Rose, David Prager and Jay Adelson.
