In celebration of the 20th anniversary, DEMO has extended special invitations to select CIOs, and senior IT executives to an exclusive, invitation-only dinner, where demonstrating company CEOs will have the opportunity to connect directly with this audience of senior-level decision-makers.  This event provides IT buyers with an immediate opportunity to discover the latest and greatest ground-breaking technology products from DEMO innovators, facilitating business-to-business relationships for maximum impact. 

In addition, demonstrating companies will once again have an opportunity to win the $1 million People's Choice Award that includes an extensive multimedia advertising campaign with IDG media publications.  This campaign will significantly increase the visibility of the winner to more than 270 million technology buyers through the powerful brands under the IDG umbrella, including CIO, Computerworld, CSO, GamePro, InfoWorld, Macworld, Network World and PC World.  Past winners of the DEMO People's Choice Award who received substantial post-launch promotion and visibility include eXaudios Technologies, Emo Labs, Inc. and Liaise.

"For the past several months, we have been traveling the nation, bringing together the best and brightest entrepreneurs and investors, establishing programs that allow earlier stage companies to take advantage of the DEMO experience. We are utilizing the vast network within IDG to partner key audiences with our demonstrators, helping facilitate relationships that continue well beyond the event itself," said Matt Marshall, co-executive producer and editor of DEMO partner VentureBeat.  "We're excited DEMO Fall 2010 will be taking the Valley by storm for 48 hours where we will unite the tech ecosystem in celebration of the most promising technology products of the future."

With more than 20,000 technologies reviewed and 1,500 companies selected to launch on the DEMO stage over the past 20 years, DEMO provides the essential ecosystem for emerging technologies.
