Live Blog: DEMO Fall 2011

DEMOfall-stage-250w,jpg It's time, gang — for another one of my conference live-blogs, this time for DEMOfall.  Once again, as I have for the last several events I've covered, I'm using the "Cover It Live" app (see window below).

With more than 20,000 technologies reviewed and 1,500 companies selected to launch on the DEMO stage over the past 20 years, DEMO has continually searched the globe to find innovation where it lives. The DEMO Team has logged millions of miles to uncover technology '"diamonds in the rough. Some of the companies that have launched at DEMO include Salesforce.com, Netscape, VMware, TiVo, Skype (for mobile handsets), WebEx, Jajah, Boingo Wireless, BuzzLogic, Vringo, and many more. The DEMO conferences have earned their reputation for consistently identifying tomorrow's cutting-edge technologies, helping its presenting companies secure venture funding, establish critical business relationships, and influence early adopters.

The first session of this year's DEMO Fall conference at the Hyatt Santa Clara kicks off at 8:30 am Pacific on Tuesday, September 13, when my live-blogging will begin in earnest.  Here's the agenda.  I also have my Twitter stream set to appear in my live-blog below… meaning occasional tweets from me during the event, like to attach photos — but most of my posts will be in this live-blog iframe below.

DEMOfall-horizontalbanner I'm also aggregating all the real-time chatter going on by way of the #democon tab in the box to the right (powered by FanChatter), which include both Facebook and Twitter posts. You can jump in and start posting, right there, after you connect your Twitter and/or Facebook accounts!  You just have to "Like" my company Facebook page first. That's the love I get for posting this great tool… :-)  It's the same technology some professional sports teams are now using on their web sites, as well as such customers as the E!Online network, for red-carpet events like the Golden Globes, the Grammys, and the Oscar Awards.

I'm looking forward to a great conference!  When the event is completed, I'll archive this live-blog, which switches it around to proper chronological order. And the link for this blog post will remain permanent for the live-blog archive. That's the big advantage for me to document a conference with this live-blogging tool, compared to just tweeting the event. (Have you tried going back to get an archive of your tweetstream for a certain day or event?  Good luck.) Plus the fact that I can do posts longer than 140 characters. Hope you like it! Look forward to hearing your comments.
