DEMOfall 08 - San Diego, CA

DEMOfall 08

________________________________________________________________

With only two months to go before DEMOfall 08, now is the time to register to attend.

Chris Shipley, DEMO's executive producer, spent the last 4 months traveling the globe to find the most intriguing innovations to showcase at DEMOfall 08. Here's a sneak peek at some of the companies and trends you can expect to see:

Say Goodbye to Web 2.0
It's clear now that Web 2.0 has been more of a hype cycle than a business cycle. But the social Web - the true definition of this last wave - has sparked tremendous innovation. Meet a group of companies who are developing some very interesting platforms to serve the next phase of the Web.

Welcome to the Distributed Web
The Distributed Web moves beyond today's current drive to aggregate content or visitors to a single Web site. Connect with some of the top innovators who are developing better ways to disseminate information and applications to users wherever they may be.

Moving toward a Smarter Web
You know it's out there; that one piece of information you need is posted somewhere on the World Wide Web. Meet the semantic Web pioneers who have come to realize that unless society can get much smarter in searching for the right information, the Web has to get much smarter about bringing good content to you, and still provide for the serendipity of discovery.

Sound intriguing? Come to DEMOfall 08 and see for yourself how the latest technology trends are unfolding. Don't miss your opportunity to network with brightest innovators, savviest investors, biggest buyers, and most sought after press.

DEMOfall 08 | September 7-9, 2008 | San Diego, CA

Reserve your seat now and save. Travel budgets are tight and DEMO understands that, register before July 31st and pay $2695, a $300 savings off standard pricing.
