Day 1 of DEMO is in the can and … wow what a day of contrasts.  There were some awesome demos–apps or services you start to try before the six minutes are up–and those you just have a WTF moment.
There were a couple presentations that didn’t go as well as planned (including a softly uttered f-bomb) and others that were polished and flawless.  That is, of course, the way it is at conferences.  However DEMO is different.  Selected companies have to pay $19,000 to be here and present for 6, yes 6, minutes.  That’s a ton of pressure.  Most presentations …read more

I got my press info for DEMO next week.  The DEMO08 conference schedule looks amazing, but it’s the presenters who people come to see, right?  While there are some really excellent companies from around the world, my focus is on Canadians.  Here’s the list:

HealthPricer Interactive, Ltd.; Vancouver, BC; www.healthpricer.com
Rove Mobile, Inc.; Ottawa, Ontario; www.rovemobile.com
SceneCaster; Richmond Hill, Ontario; www.scenecaster.com
Standout Jobs, Inc.; Montreal, Quebec; www.standoutjobs.com
xtranormal, Inc.; Montreal, Quebec; www.xtranormal.com

Rob beat me to the post about who will be at DEMO.  But no hard feelings.
I’ve contacted everyone (well I’ve known Ben for a while so I’ve got the scoop — hee hee) and …read more
