Top Technology Conference Accepting Applications for Demonstrators FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 8
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Last month's DEMOfall 08
conference saw the launch of 72 new tech products and services delivered to
the U.S. marketplace. Building on the momentum of the event, the producers of
the DEMO conferences are already screening products and selecting the most
significant to launch at DEMO 09, which will take place March 1-3 in Palm
Desert, California. Potential demonstrators with eligible products can apply
to participate in DEMO 09 here: http://www.demo.com/launch/apply.html. The
deadline for applications is December 1, 2008.
Products debuting at DEMO conferences represent every market segment --
everything from more efficient air conditioner technology; to a smart phone
application that helps dieters count calories; to a thin, flexible and
lightweight electronic reader device. DEMO takes a global view of the tech
industry and features technologies from around the world. Attendees never
know exactly what they are going to see at DEMO, but they attend knowing that
the debuting products have been carefully vetted for industry-impact.
Known for encouraging business acceleration, DEMO attracts companies ready
to jump into the next phase of company growth: acquiring customers and
partners, garnering international press coverage, and obtaining funding. DEMO
conferences showcase innovations from new and established companies with
working technologies for measurable market spaces. It's the event series that
launched technologies such as VMware, the Palm Pilot, Java 1.0, TiVo, IronPort
Systems, WebEx, Half.com, salesforce.com, Ugobe's Pleo, Six Apart's Moveable
Type and many more.
Executive Producer Chris Shipley and analyst Carla Thompson are busy
screening product prototypes and considering them for DEMO 09. In this
process, they ask, "Is it a standout product? Does it represent an industry
first or the best of a category? Will it drive further progress in
technology?" To be considered for DEMO, a product must:
* make its public debut at the DEMO conference
* make a significant contribution to the state of the art in its target
market
* change the dynamics of the marketplace into which it is introduced
* be backed by a management team capable of delivering the product to
market
Companies and entrepreneurs with products that might qualify are
encouraged to read up on eligibility requirements and complete the simple, 10-
minute application today!
