'FutureScan' Sessions To Track Mobile Computing and Nanotechnology
SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- The semi-annual DEMO
conferences bring together the technology industry's elite observers with
the most promising emerging technology innovations for 48 hours of charged
discovery and debate. Seventy never-before-seen consumer and enterprise
technologies will debut live on stage at September's DEMOfall 06 conference
before an audience of powerful investors, pundits, early-adopter consumers,
business development executives and journalists, all searching out those
technologies that will directly impact our world.

DEMOfall 06 will take place September 25-27, 2006, at the Sheraton
Harbor Island in San Diego, CA. Potential attendees can register here:

"I look forward to attending DEMO each year because it attracts a
unique mix of entrepreneurs, journalists and investors. The content of the
conference is highly entertaining and gives me a view of the technology
landscape over a short period of time," said David Hornik of August
Capital.
"In addition to our trademark six-minute product demonstrations,
DEMOfall will dive deep into two market areas that will surely disrupt
business as usual. John Patrick will lead FutureScan discussions with
leading thinkers on the future of mobile technology and the real
applications of nanotechnology," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of
the DEMO conferences.
John Patrick, president of consulting firm Attitude LLC and former vice
president of Internet technology at IBM, will lead two FutureScan sessions,
one on each day of the conference. Begun at DEMO 06 in February, the
FutureScan program features onstage conversations with top academic,
corporate and government scientists and researchers, exploring the
foundations on which the future of technology will be built. On the first
day of DEMOfall, Patrick will look into the future of mobile technology,
asking, "Are we there yet?" and determining the necessary steps to enable
ubiquitous coverage, powerful voice commands, WiFi on devices, and the
'sweet spot' for mobile device screen size. On day two, Patrick will
explore the future of nanotechnology in an effort to understand where we
are now and where we'll be in 2010 in this fast- developing marketplace and
which industries will be most impacted.
Shel Israel from Conferenza says... "Year after year, Conferenza finds
DEMO to be an outstanding conference. It is the best venue we know for
introducing new technology and products. The social networking is always
superb."
