Definitely, without any discussion, Demo is a must go or a must apply.
This event is a 3 days dedicated to 6 minutes. Maybe your 6 minutes in fact, to show the attendance how your company, your product, your website, your application will bring innovation.
The event will take place in March 2009, from 1st to 3rd in Palm Desert, California.
Whatever controversies (lot of show business here sometimes), or any comparable events at same period, Demo is a springboard. There are a few place that focuses that much on giving the possibility to launch your brand new thing, you proud entrepreneurs!
There are a lot of Conference with a Start-up Contest in many web or other mobile conferences. But Demo is the big thing, so be ready if you wanna make it big! Some companies presented there (Salesforce.com, Six Apart, VMWare...), starting being identified. For some others, was also the possibility to find some buyers (Cisco, Adobe, Google, who knows...)!
Demo will be a good opportunity to see if the so called "crises" has a impact on entrepreneurship...
French entrepreneurs should not be shy: Total Immersion (Bruno Uzzan) was awarded a DEMOgod Award there recently. Realeyes3D (votre serviteur) got their DEMOgod Award back in 2003.
DEMO is a real launch platform, very efficient for those companies who are past the early stage and want to go to the next level by going out of their initial niche and grab national (US) attention (or get a B or C round). The rest of the world will follow... (DEMO is sometimes criticized for its cost. If your company is ready, is a marketing budget well spent.)
