Less than one month until DEMOfall08 and while the names of the 72 presenting companies will be kept secret until opening day, Chris Shipley, DEMO’s product analyst and executive producer, just released the 12 product theme areas that will be discussed. In her blog post, here, she describes the problems the technologies launching at DEMOfall08 are poised to solve. Themes are ranging from “Your Mobile, Your Life” to “It’s Easy Being Green” and even “Web 2.0 Gets to Work,” for a full list click here.
DEMO is the premier launch venue for new products, technologies, and companies. The nation’s top technology executives and IT professionals, venture capitalists, business development executives, journalists and analysts attend DEMO to get the first look at the emerging products and services that will ignite the technology landscape and challenge the status quo.
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.
