"The longevity of the conference is a testimonial to how well it works. Conference producer Chris Shipley does a fabulous job in both selecting the themes and companies/products to spotlight, and then in hosting and commenting at the event. Even jaded insiders like me who attend vendor briefings under NDA nearly daily always find something they've never seen - or heard of - and the surprise is definitely part of the fun."

"I am eagerly anticipating the Demo conference... In years past, the influential tech shindig has been the launching pad for Palm, Handspring, the Java programming language and E*Trade."

"If your technology is great and your presentation superb, then your life as you know it might forever change. The sacrifices that you have made may all be worth while. It is almost like Chris becomes this wonderful impresario presenting great teams and great stuff to great people."
