About This Event
Join us at DEMOfall 08 as we unveil the next big innovations in technology coming to market this fall.
With more than 20,000 technologies reviewed and 1,500 companies selected to launch on the DEMO stage over the past 18 years, DEMO has continually searched the globe to find innovation where it lives. Chris Shipley, DEMO's executive producer, has logged millions of miles to uncover technology 'diamonds in the rough' before anyone else. And the results have been astounding. From the first launch of Palm, Java, TiVo, E*TRADE in mid/late 90s to Salesforce.com, VMware, Six Apart, OddPost, IronPort, GrandCentral and Glam Media in more recent years, DEMO delivers real products ready for market—regardless of their geography.
Six minutes... innovate or die
During 70 six-minute presentations in two days, you will be the first to see the latest, most innovative and market-defining products unveiled for the very first time. Only the best-vetted products and companies are chosen to present in a show-me-don’t-tell-me format that demands demonstrators seize the moment and convincingly crystallize the opportunity.
Does it work?
In just the past four years, DEMO companies have raised well over $2.5 billion dollars in the months/years following their debut at DEMO. More than 40 of these companies have been acquired by tech giants, such as Adobe, Cisco, Google, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, Symantec, Viacom, Yahoo!, and more. Past participants such as WebEx, VMware, iRobot, Linden Labs, Six Apart, and Roku have single-handedly redefined their industry’s market. And DEMO conferences have consistently delivered more than 200 million media impressions in the weeks following each show. Welcome to the Big Leagues.
Bottom line, if you want to be where the brightest innovators, savviest investors, biggest buyers and most sought after press meet to experience innovation as it is unveiled for the very first time, you need to head to DEMOfall 08.
