Programme
Conference Agenda
The feel you get when you enter DEMO is unlike any other conference. Each company is given just six minutes on the DEMO stage to truly demonstrate how their product will change the world. No PowerPoint or flashy corporate presentations allowed. Just the founders and the technologies many are staking their careers on. It doesn’t get any more straightforward and fast paced than that.

Demo Showcase
While the DEMO stage is the place to see each technology unveiled, the Demo Showcase is where the real action is. It’s a perfect environment to network, research, form meaningful and strategic relationships, and—yes—even close some deals. Here, investors and potential partners can get a close up look at the latest trend-setting technologies. It’s not just a place for more face time, but for more eyes on-the-product time.
No demonstrator can dominate the conference with marketing collateral, signage, whiz-bang graphics, and alluring giveaways. The professionally managed and ergonomic Demonstrator Showcase is a level playing field. And there is no bad spot on the floor. Everyone has the same visibility keep the attention laser focused on the products.
