I’ll be attending the DEMOfall 08 conference in San Diego, September 7-9, 2008. Close to 100 media and bloggers will be there, with total attendance expected to be the largest ever (I predict close to 1000).
Here are some excerpts from DEMO’s press release, which just hit the wire, including the complete list of presenting companies, A to Z, and their web addresses:
Leading Technology Conference Continues to Highlight
the Best in Entrepreneurship from Around the World
The DEMO conferences, known for launching some the world’s biggest technology products, will kick off this Sunday with 72 new products poised to launch onstage in just 72 hours. Beginning its 19th year of supporting innovation, DEMOfall 08 will highlight products from more than 11 countries and 19 states. Known as the conference that launched products from Google, Apple, Palm, Intel, Yahoo!, and TiVo, the fall conference will host one of its largest attendances of journalists, investors, and business professionals in its history. DEMOfall 08 is being held from September 7 – 9 at the Sheraton San Diego. To learn more about the event and register to attend, visit www.demo.com.
"Every DEMO, we strive to identify the companies that will defy all the odds and have significant impact in the technology markets. Ours is a year-long process that culminates in 72 hours of products that are more than disruptive; they change the rules of the game as we know it,” said Chris Shipley, product analyst and executive producer of the DEMO conferences. "I am very excited to unveil the class of DEMOfall 08. They are innovative, they are important, they are fun, and they represent the future products and solutions we all will be using soon.”
The DEMO conferences are held twice a year, requiring the DEMO team to hold in-depth interviews with more than 1,000 companies ready to launch new products at the event. This rigorous process ensures that DEMOfall 08 attendees will, for the first time, see new products from around the globe including Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Taiwan.
