Announcing the DEMO 09 Class of Demonstrators

Updated

As most VentureBeat readers know, we’re partnering with DEMO, the leading conference for tech companies launching products. My boss Matt Marshall will be replacing Chris Shipley as the event’s executive producer, and for the upcoming DEMO (from March 1 to 3), we’ve put together a series of panels called DEMObeat, which will focus on three important tech trends — social data sharing, energy efficiency, and new tools to increase productivity.

Of course, excited as we are about DEMObeat, the conference’s big event will be the launching of innovative new companies and products. It looks like a list of the presenting companies has already leaked out, and you can see it below. It’s just a list, though; you won’t be getting more details until our coverage (and that of other publications) next week.

Just to reiterate, VentureBeat isn’t getting any special treatment in how we cover the event. Hence the fact that someone published the list before we’d intended it to be. (Update: The initial list I published was incomplete, but it should be complete now. My apologies to companies that were left off.) Anyway, here it is:

  • Dissapointed
    You're kidding right? BitGravity was a presenting company at last year's DEMO show. Why are they presenting two years in a row? You say this is for companies that are "launching products", yet BitGravity has been out in the market selling their solution for over a year.

    If this is the kind of presentations we can come to expect from the new DEMO, count me out.
  • Who knows, perhaps BitGravity has something new to demo?

    Also, Dissapointed, if this is the sort of misspelling that people are going to be leaving in the comments section, I'm going to stop responding.
  • Verisimilitude
    Eric, if you are so pretentious that one misspelled word makes you want to stop responding, than I for one wouldn’t mind if you did.
  • Per Dissapointed's last line, I'm just joking around to highlight that this person is jumping to conclusions about BitGravity/DEMO without good reason. The misspelling is not the issue.
  • Eric, if you can't take the comments seriously enough to stop making jokes, I'm going to stop responding.
  • I find your irreverence of my irreverence to be offensive, Anthony.
  • Any chance we can get a few links please? Copying and pasting into Google is fun for all of 5 seconds.
  • Here's a pretty thorough list with links: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/022709-de...
  • Thanks!
  • I've got some of the links here

    but a lot of them can be found as not online yet (or google is returning null relevance results)

    lol about Mrs Blublagh's 4th grade class though.


    Cheers,
    Dean
