On-Stage Presentation

6 minutes - just you and your product in front of the world. We invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in the DEMO stage and crew each year to ensure your technology shines on our worldwide stage. We go beyond the DEMO ballroom via a live online broadcast to over 230,000 viewers in 80 countries around the world.

"DEMO is a rare breed of technology conference one that distills a presentation to its essence and gives those on hand a unique chance to see dozens of companies' products and services in a very short period of time."
Daniel Terdiman, CNET News.com

Networking Opportunities

DEMO is uniquely structured to create unsurpassed access and interaction. DEMO is different - we put the attention on your product regardless of your company's size or budget. Over the course of three days our DEMO agenda puts you in a position to network with investors from around the world, corporate development officers from acquiring companies and the most influential reporters and bloggers in technology media.

"DEMO was a perfect venue to unveil Danger. We were pleased with the top notch press and attendees. DEMO cut through the hype and delivered the goods - a very worthwhile event!"
Andy Rubin, President & CEO, Danger

Economic Impact

A product launch at DEMO gets results. Results like $4.5 billion invested and over 50 acquisitions from companies making their DEMO debut over the past five years alone. Big stage, big coverage, with big results. Investors and acquirers depend on DEMO to showcase products and companies that are ready to succeed. DEMO is not just an event, it's an economic launching pad.

"DEMO is the best mirror to reflect what's happening, or about to happen, in the industry. The categories and products change every year and that's the point: that's what's going on right then and that's what you have to watch throughout the year. DEMO has always been an accurate gauge for the industry."
Te Smith, Senior Director, Zone Labs
