Graeme Thickins of Tech~Surf~blog interviews Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO ’09 conference, which was held March 1-3, 2009, in Palm Desert, CA.
Before I called it another DEMO, I just had to grab a moment with longtime executive producer Chris Shipley. Chris had been struggling with a bit of hoarse voice for most of the event, but held up remarkably well through till the end, when she introduced the seven “DEMOgod Award” winners (Coveroo, Silverstone, PureWire, Gwabbit, Ontier/Pixetell, Skout, and Avaak/Vue), and the People’s Choice award winner (SmartyCard). I wanted to get her take as she wrapped up this second-to-the-last DEMO of her marvelous 13-year career with this event (she’s co-producing the DEMOfall ’09 event with Matt Marshall).
