SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass., July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- The semi-annual DEMO
conferences are a looking glass into the key technology trends and most
promising products that will shortly impact consumer and business
technology purchasing decisions. DEMO's Executive Producer, Chris Shipley,
screens hundreds of innovative companies from around the world to bring the
most exceptional new products and services in the tech industry to each
DEMO event. DEMOfall 06, to be held September 25-27 in San Diego,
California, will be the debut stage for 70 of these important industry
offerings. Potential attendees can register here:

"For each DEMO and DEMOfall conference, I analyze hundreds of meetings
and conversations to identify the current state of the industry. This helps
me to pinpoint the areas in which investment dollars are flowing and the
best innovation is happening," says Shipley. "The technology industry is
always a wellspring of innovation and DEMOfall attendees will get a first
look at the next big ideas igniting the tech economy."
Today, the DEMO production team announces a special closing night panel
to provide perspective on the newly launched technologies. This media
roundtable will assess the state of the business and consumer technology
markets based on the companies, products and ideas they've seen at
DEMOfall. The panel of business journalists will share their views on how
this new technology will shape the market. Participating panelists are:
-- Victoria Murphy Barret, Associate Editor, Silicon Valley Bureau, Forbes
-- John Gallant, President & Editorial Director, Network World
-- Mark Veverka, West Coast Editor, Barron's
-- Steve Wildstrom, Technology & You columnist, BusinessWeek
In addition, the conference is making available a series of podcasts
produced by Guidewire Group, featuring Chris Shipley and highlighting
myriad aspects of the innovation ecosystem. The first in the "Conversations
with Chris" series is entitled 'The road to DEMOfall' in which Shipley
shares key insights on how a DEMO event comes together, reveal s what she
looks for in a great company, and gives a sneak peek on what's in store for
DEMOfall. To download the podcast, visit: http://www.demo.com/df06/podcast1 .
Future podcasts will include interviews with entrepreneurs and venture
capitalists and analysis of key market trends.
DEMO - Not Your Father's Tech Conference
The DEMO conferences are the exception in the technology conference
circuit: the exhibiting demonstrators are hand selected (it is not a
pay-to- play event); the size guarantees one-on-one interaction with the
entrepreneurs behind the latest crop of innovations; and the intimate
environment makes the conferences a perennial source of mega-deals.
DEMO is legendary for its rapid-fire onstage demonstrations that put
developers on the spot. Each demonstrating company get six minutes to
present its product to a powerful audience of investors, journalists, and
corporate decision makers. Attendees are then able to test the products
themselves in the DEMOfall Pavilion -- not your typical overcrowded
industry exhibition venue -- where the people who created the technologies
are on hand to answer questions and give personal, one-on-one
demonstrations.
