What they’re saying
Our company greatly benefited by launching at DEMO; it was the perfect venue to showcase our first product to a discriminating audience of tech influencers. It made it easy for us to meet one-on-one with press and analysts in ways that aren't possible in the outside.
Patrick Rafter VP, SnoopWall SnoopWall
Demo is one of the best events I have attended in Silicon Valley for high volume, fast paced speed networking with a curated star-tup community over an intense, but fun 3 days.
DEMO Fall 2012 Attendee DEMO Attendee
DEMO is like jet fuel for your product. It launches your company and your concept into the spotlight, faster than you could imagine if you tried to have your own launch event.
Guy Paddock CEO Red Bottle Design
If you want a clear view of the future of Information Technology and Innovation, DEMO is the place to get it. The information is critical to making the right decisions that have the greatest impact over the longest amount of time in any modern enterprise.

For us DEMO Fall made, and is making the launch of our company a significant event, and far more than we could have ever achieved on our own. It has already had a huge impact on our profile.
