Good news - Creative Weblogging will cover DEMO 2006 LIVE.

What is DEMO?DEMO is a twice yearly held event. DEMO describes itself as the premier launch pad for emerging companies. DEMO stands out because each company oes through a rather though selection committee and must prove it has something new and interesting to launch. In addition to the booth each company maintains, the company has 3-6 minutes to present the innovative product/ solution on stage. Important no Power Point is allowed - it must be a real demo. This way DEMO stands out from the crowd of emerging technologies conferences.

What can you expect?Nearly 100 companies will present on February 7th and 8th in Phoenix, AZ. They are not known yet and DEMO is doing the best it can to not leak participants to the outside world.

DEMO is such a value to entrepreneurs presenting because of the media attention and number of potential investors in the auditorium. As Jeff Nolan noted a good share of the Silicon Valley VC industry could charter a plane to get to Phoenix. The event surely helps investors to find new trends and identify new potential investments. While DEMO is no investment pitch it has a great track record to get presenters financed.

The last DEMO in September 2005 (labeled Mobile DEMO earlier) had a number of participants who were able to close investment rounds in the 4 months since.

What will our coverage be like?We will tap into the Audio and Video resources and deliver you 'almost there' experience. Additionally we will do our best to get the facts and highlights of each company's innovation and will make a guess if it is a cool product or not. The most inspiring entrepreneurs will also hopefully join us for an interview.

Our main Demo coverage will be at TJ's Weblog - the site authored by Torsten Jacobi, founder of Creative Weblogging. But you will also see more info here.
