What’s Really Happening at DEMO

Here’s something better than just a list of presenting companies at DEMO ’07, which I posted the other day. Below is a list with a few words on what each of these companies actually does…or what they’ll be introducing at the event, which starts Tuesday evening in Palm Desert, CA. Note some of these mostly brand-new, hand.pngcked firms are remaining “stealth” right up to the end (but surprisingly not that many). What is surprising is that a few have no web sites at all! [We can only hope they might activate a site once the conference actually begins? 🙂 … ] Also note there are five big-name firms using DEMO to introduce something new as well, but I didn’t have time to drill into their massive web sites to see that that might be. Nonetheless, here’s everything else, and I must say some exciting stuff is due to be unveiled. (If you’d rather view this list with live links to each company’s site, here’s a quick web page I put up. It’s all public info — I just aggregated it so I can see everything in one place to plan my coverage.)
