DEMO @ 15

On February 13, many Industry Insiders will once again gather in Scottsdale, Arizona to enjoy seeing each other – and Chris Shipley’s selection of the best new industry hardware and software – at DEMO.  This is a special DEMO, because it’s the 15th anniversary (conferences rarely last this long).

Chris says at this DEMO you’ll be able to see that the promise of convergence will finally have arrived and that home automation will put Joe and Jane Doe in control and in their digital living room.

I confess I go to DEMO more for the Enterprise software – Chris always manages to find a half dozen things (she’s showing 80 products) that I’ve never heard about.  And at least half of them are dazzling.  I always have a wonderful time.

This is a tough audience.  Everyone is jaded beyond belief and yet they are very sensitive to new entrepreneurs (many of them remember what it’s like) and entirely able to wildly applaud when they see something (the Palm Pilot, for example) that sweeps them off their feet.

So this is our Valentine to Chris – and the industry pioneers she’s honoring at a dinner on February 15th.  Long Live Demo and the new products that make it possible.
