Stay tuned Friday as the DEMOfall08 class of presenters is announced from the DEMO webpage.

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.

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.
