Bridge Bank to Participate in the Second Annual AlwaysOn OnDemand Conference at HP Worldwide Headquarters


SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - March 28, 2011) - Bridge Capital Holdings (NASDAQ: BBNK), whose subsidiary is Bridge Bank, National Association, a full service professional business bank headquartered in Silicon Valley, announced today its participation and sponsorship in the second annual AlwaysOn OnDemand Conference. The event is being held March 28-30 at HP Worldwide Headquarters in Palo Alto, California.

OnDemand 2011 is where the top Internet companies disrupting the enterprise square off with the incumbent players pioneering cloud computing and SaaS. This two-and-a-half day executive event features high-level debates on how the Internet is disrupting how companies -- from small businesses to large enterprises -- create, store, distribute, analyze, and take advantage of their mission-critical data. OnDemand also showcases the top entrepreneurial CEOs who are revolutionizing the way the enterprise is radicalized by the Internet.

"The Cloud continues to expand its role as a critical part of the new technology landscape and AlwaysOn once again provides a great venue to share ideas and accomplishments," said Ed Lambert, Senior Vice President of Bridge Bank's Technology Banking Division. "We congratulate the OnDemand 2011 Top 100 nominees and winners and look forward to meeting them at the conference and to working with them over the coming years."

This year's OnDemand 100 companies are leaders amongst their peers and developing game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to push outside the bounds of existing markets and away from entrenched players. Companies were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.

"As the digital information created by businesses continues to explode at astronomical rates, the need to store, manage, socialize, and share this information is becoming extremely challenging," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "By providing innovative technologies that help enterprises better compete in this new era of information complexity and move their data out into the cloud, the OnDemand 100 represents some of the highest-growth opportunities in the private company marketplace."
