DEMO RETURNS TO PHOENIX, ARIZONA TO SPOTLIGHT INNOVATION DEMO 2006: February 6-8, 2006 at the Pointe South Early Bird Registration Closes Today SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. – November 30, 2005 – This February, DEMO returns to Arizona to honor a new crop of exciting companies launching their never-before-seen innovations. For more than 15 years, the DEMO conferences and the year-round DEMO community have been connecting emerging technology start-ups with VCs, business development executives and the nation’s top press – in other words, all the actors necessary to fuel the growth of early-stage companies and spur on technology progress and adoption. “Technology’s market momentum and innovation are on the rise, making DEMO a must-attend event for savvy business leaders,” said Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO conferences. “Though I cannot yet reveal the products that will launch at DEMO 2006, some of the themes include enterprise security, data management, consumer communications services, executive mobility tools, and wireless access stability.” At the center of each DEMO conference is a class of carefully vetted products and companies, each making its market debut. Executive Producer Chris Shipley is responsible for these selections, and makes them with DEMO’s highly critical, very well informed, and the post-bubble, somewhat jaded audience in mind. “The technology industry is constantly re-inventing itself. Despite bubbles and busts, technology is still a hotbed of innovation and a mainstay of business need and investment,” continued Shipley. At DEMO, the industry's elite will gather for two days of ground-breaking launch presentations that showcase approximately 70 of the most exciting innovations in the world of technology. These insiders attend DEMO to garner a highly-filtered look at the products destined to change the marketplace in the coming year and exchange ideas with the industry's leading thinkers and decision-makers in a relaxed atmosphere intended to inspire, inform, and engage. Over its 15-year history, DEMO has become known as the premier event for revealing the products and services poised to have the greatest impact on the technology landscape, allowing leading executives to test out new innovations and understand their impact within the context of a broad range of technology introductions. “DEMO is as much about ideas as it is products and technologies; ideas that help to further the industry, sparking innovation and healthy competition. It’s becoming clear to me that we’re about to encounter a major inflection point in information technology, the details of which I’m saving for the DEMO 2006 keynote,” said Shipley. “There will be plenty of fresh ideas, smart entrepreneurs, and exciting products worthy of investment debuting at DEMO 2006.” Online registration for DEMO 2006 is available here: http://www.demo.com/D6PR1. Today, November 30, is the last day to sign up at the Early Bird rate of $2,395, $600 off the cost of regular admission.
