Demofall 08 Is Set for Denver
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Demofall 08 looks to be the biggest fall Demo ever, with 72 companies
launching their products on stage, organizers reported.
As part of the event, Demofall 08 will host three roundtables of
industry thought leaders as they debate critical issues for
entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and big business. Demonstrating
companies will be announced Friday, September 5th.
"When we were deciding on program elements for Demofall 08 we really
wanted to take it up a level and get the pundits really discussing
topics that were truly relevant to the audience," said Chris Shipley,
product analyst and executive producer of the Demo conferences. "We
also wanted to give everyone a chance to see their favorite journalists
go head-to-head, and maybe have an argument or two, as they discuss
their opinions and where the future of tech is going. Most importantly,
we wanted them to be fun and I think we have achieved our goals!"
Demofall 08 will host three roundtables including:
Walt and Kara Head to Head: See All Things D editors Walt Mossberg and
Kara Swisher interview each other as they debate the future of
technology and who's right and who's wrong.
The Changing Venture Model: Moderated by Matt Marshall, Editor & CEO of
VentureBeat, see the venture capitalists Chris Greendale, General
Partner, Kodiak Venture Partners; Krishna 'Kittu' Kolluri, General
Partner, New Enterprise Associates and Eric Tilenius, Partner, Maveron
discuss the current VC model and debate whether the time for change has
come.
Where the Web is Going: Moderated by Nova Spivak, Founder & CEO of
Radar Networks, hear author Howard Bloom; Ross Levinsohn; Partner at
Velocity Interactive Group; Peter Norvig, Director of Research at
Google; Prabhakar Raghavan, PhD, Head of Yahoo! Research and Yahoo!
Search Strategy and Jon Udell, Evangelist, Microsoft give their
predictions for the next Internet revolution.
Demo Jam Session: Not a panel at all but a chance to shake a leg, the
group noted. The Demo Jam Session featuring the Replithentics continues
to groove as attendees are invited to bring their instruments, join the
band, and dance off some pre and post launch jitters.
