DEMO 2006 CONFERENCE TO REFLECT GROWING MOMENTUM DEMO 2006: February 6-8, 2006 at the Pointe South SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. – December 13, 2005 – In her tenth year as executive producer of the DEMO conferences, Chris Shipley wrote in DEMOletter about the uptick in technology industry intangibles, noting, "The market is emerging from a long nap. While some were sleeping, others were working to establish a market position, and now they are ready to claim what they have earned... I suspect we're in for a velocity change, spurred on by Web 2.0." (To read the entirety of Shipley's column, visit: http://www.demo.com/demoletter/010529.html#more) At the DEMO 2006 conference, new Web 2.0 products and services will be among the 70 emerging technology innovations launching to an early-adopter and visionary crowd of investors, business leaders, and journalists. Services and solutions that make enterprises more agile and efficient will accompany consumer software and hardware products on the DEMO stage, all worthy of notice by the influential DEMO audience. During the closing dinner on February 8, DEMO 2006 will host a panel of the nation's top reporters who will debate the merits and opportunities of the DEMO 2006 innovations. The Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg will moderate the panel and will be joined by Quentin Hardy of Forbes, Michael Miller of PC Magazine, and Ed Baig of USA Today. (For more on the panelists, visit http://www.demo.com/conf/attend/speakers.html) "This will undoubtedly be a high-energy and fast-moving panel debate," said Shipley, "but attendees shouldn't mistake it as 'just' fun. These reporters have been covering technology for decades and will have real insight into improvements and market dynamics that can make or break the innovations under discussion." Also at the closing dinner, Shipley will announce the DEMO 2006 DEMOgod winners and The Tech Museum INNY awards, both highly coveted distinctions that honor presentation style and innovation quality.
